WKB Legal Alert | Family foundations – the legislature’s response to family-run businesses
On 14 December 2022, Sejm (the lower house of the Polish parliament) passed the draft Act on family foundations (further, the “Act”). It introduces the institution of a so-called family foundation into the Polish legal order, which is intended to allow for the efficient and effective intergenerational succession of family businesses. The use of family foundations will prevent the excessive partition of family assets or the need to liquidate them after the founder’s death.
