"Right to a compulsory portion and asset protection: How Liechtenstein foundations and trusts secure family assets"
Dr. Marco Felder, Dr. Josef Bergt, 2026
Anyone wishing to preserve wealth across generations requires clear structures that continue to function after death and are not eroded by family conflicts or unforeseen claims. The transfer of assets into a Liechtenstein foundation or a Liechtenstein trust is an internationally established instrument for this purpose. In such planning, forced heirship claims by statutory heirs regularly arise, as well as the question of how these can be addressed and managed.
