Family Fund & Family Governance

Family fund and family governance

Working promise

The Decision Canvas compares direct ownership, shared rules, a contractual familiefonds and a stichting/STAK/corporate route, including a no-fund outcome.

Formal documents are not offered as open templates. They are prepared or confirmed by the Dutch civil-law notary, lawyer, tax adviser or foreign counsel within their own remit.

Family decisions

VB does not choose the human outcome on behalf of the family.

  • who receives benefit, information and a voice
  • how distributions, entry, exit and conflict should work

Implementation layer
