出版物 / 文章 / When structuring long-term wealth and legacy planning, families often ask:
👉 Should we use a Family Office or a Foundation?

While both play important roles, a Foundation is often preferred when the priority is protection, continuity, and governance.

Here are the key reasons:

🔹 Legal separation of assets

A foundation is a separate legal e
tity that owns assets independently, creating strong asset segregation and protection from personal liabilities.

🔹 Succession & continuity

Foundations survive beyond the founder and provide a stable framework for intergenerational wealth transfer without disruption.

🔹 Governance discipline

Operating under a charter and fiduciary oversight, foundations enforce structured decision-making and long-term investment discipline.

🔹 Beneficiary protection

They allow controlled distribution rules, helping safeguard wealth for future generations.

🔹 Institutional credibility

Well-regulated foundation regimes provide robust legal frameworks that foster confidence among banks and counterparties.

In today’s environment, families are not just managing assets — they are designing systems to preserve legacy.

RAK ICC offers one of the UAE’s most cost-efficient and well-structured foundation regimes, combining robust regulatory governance with practical flexibility for succession planning and asset protection.
