Foundations offer a flexible and secure way to preserve wealth, support philanthropic initiatives, and create long-term legacy structures. They stand apart from traditional trusts by existing as an incorporated, self-owning legal entity, which means they have their own legal personality and can hold assets and contract in their own name. This gives them a distinct advantage, particularly for clients in civil law jurisdictions who may not be as familiar with the concept of a common law trust.
At Manavia, we provide expert foundation services to help you navigate this modern approach to wealth management. Based in the Isle of Man, we leverage the island's robust legal framework—specifically the Isle of Man Foundations Act 2011—to ensure your structure is secure and resilient. A foundation provides a powerful vehicle for a range of objectives, whether it is charitable giving, asset protection, or creating a secure framework for family wealth management.
Our role goes beyond mere establishment. We serve as a trusted partner, assisting with the foundation’s formation and providing ongoing administrative and governance support as a council member. We ensure your foundation remains fully compliant with all international regulations and adapts to any changing circumstances or legal requirements. This strategic oversight ensures that your foundation aligns with your long-term objectives, providing certainty and security for generations to come.
