Panama Foundations
A unique legal structure combining the asset protection benefits of a trust with the legal personality of a corporation — used to hold and manage assets for personal or family purposes.

Once established, the foundation can hold property, open bank accounts, enter contracts, and undertake legal obligations independently. Unlike public-purpose foundations, the Panama foundation serves private interests.
It has no shareholders or partners and is restricted from engaging in direct business activities, with limited exceptions permitted under Panamanian law.
Owns assets, enters contracts, opens accounts, and exercises legal rights independently of the founder.
Administered by a Foundation Council in accordance with its Charter and Regulations.
Assets transferred to the Foundation are legally separate from the Founder's personal assets.
Territorial tax system means income earned outside Panama is not subject to local taxation.
Foundation regulation is not public — beneficiary identity can remain anonymous.
Effective tool for multi-generational wealth transfer without the need for probate.
