Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a premier global financial hub offering unique solutions for asset protection, wealth management, and succession planning through its foundation structure. A DIFC foundation is an ideal tool for individuals, families, and businesses looking to safeguard their assets, manage wealth, and ensure seamless estate planning.
A DIFC foundation is a legal entity established under the DIFC Foundations Law No. 3 of 2018. It provides a robust structure for holding assets, managing wealth, and planning succession. Unlike traditional corporate entities, a foundation does not have shareholders; instead, it operates with a charter and a council, making it a highly secure and flexible option for asset protection.
