What is a Private Interest Foundation?
The Panama Private Interest Foundation is a structure designed for estate planning and asset protection. Unlike a corporation, a foundation has no owners or shareholders — it holds assets for the benefit of named beneficiaries according to your wishes, which makes it a powerful tool for passing on wealth cleanly.
What it’s used for
- Estate and succession planning across borders
- Asset protection and wealth structuring
- Holding shares of a Panama corporation
- Keeping assets out of probate
How we handle it
Our legal team drafts the foundation charter and your private regulations, registers the foundation, and structures it around your estate-planning goals.
Foundation structures interact with the tax and inheritance law of your home country. We coordinate, but you should also consult an advisor in your own jurisdiction.
