Dzień dobry !
Trusts and foundations are used worldwide by millions of clients.
Their main uses are:
-
- to protect family assets from external attack (Bankruptcy, Divorce, Lawsuits, Unlawful confiscation etc)
- to hold family business assets and to ensure the smooth transition of those assets to the next generations
- to solve inheritance problems
The development of inheritance law has not kept pace with other developments in society and it no longer functions well in our modern economy. This includes especially families with larger assets and family businesses and also the many conflicts that can arise from mixed and blended families
The introduction of Family Foundations is being considered by the Polish Parliament, with introduction possible this year. There is also nothing to stop Polish clients from using Trusts and Foundations in other jurisdictions and there can sometimes be some tax and other advantages in doing this.
For this reason, we have decided to run a seminar in Lodz in April in order to better inform the Polish legal profession about this opportunity. These new tools can bring many benefits to many of your clients. A leading expert in the field will deliver practical information to help you provide current and top advice.
