Estate Planning and Asset Protection Strategies
- Estate Planning

Tools:
A private foundation is a legal entity established within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) or Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM or Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre (RAKICC) to manage and protect assets, support succession planning, and achieve specific charitable or non-charitable objectives. These foundations provide a flexible and secure structure for asset protection, wealth management, and estate planning, offering benefits such as limited liability, perpetual existence, and confidentiality for founders and beneficiaries
A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) is a subsidiary created by a parent company to isolate financial risk. The SPV is a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities, designed to undertake specific activities or projects. SPVs are commonly used for securitization, risk management, and financing purposes. They help protect the parent company from financial exposure and legal risks associated with the specific activities of the SPV.
Cell companies, also known as Protected Cell Companies (PCC) or Segregated Portfolio Companies (SPC), are corporate structures that allow for the segregation of assets and liabilities within separate cells. Each cell operates independently, with its assets and liabilities distinct from those of other cells and the core company. This structure is particularly useful for insurance, investment funds, and other financial services where risk segregation is crucial. It offers flexibility and protection, ensuring that the insolvency of one cell does not affect the others.
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that combines the limited liability protection of a corporation with the tax benefits and operational flexibility of a partnership. In an LLC, owners (referred to as members) are not personally liable for the company's debts and liabilities. LLCs are popular among small to medium-sized businesses due to their simplicity, tax advantages, and limited compliance requirements. They offer flexibility in management structures and profit distribution.
We can combine your philanthropic, private wealth, and business interests to achieve your objectives and realise your legacy vision. We ensure that your financial plan and decision-making across all jurisdictions will be executed efficiently and to your satisfaction.

SPVs are vital in dealing with investment money, real estate, risk management, asset ownership, and fundraising.
