Isle of Man: foundations

While the trust remains the structure of first choice for private wealth planning in common law jurisdictions, foundations have also come to the fore. This is for several reasons, including the greater comfort of foundations for civil law clients, some of the attacks on trusts in recent years and administrative practices permitting founder control. The Isle of Man has a comprehensive regime for the establishment of foundations formed as guarantee companies, adaptable to use for private and charitable use, giving it a broad menu for wealth planning.
