The Seychelles offers a sophisticated and flexible legal framework for the establishment of private foundations, making it a compelling jurisdiction for high-net-worth individuals and families seeking robust solutions for asset protection, estate planning, and wealth structuring. Governed by the Seychelles Foundations Act, a foundation is a self-owning legal entity—it holds assets in its own name, entirely separate from the founder's personal estate.

This structure provides a high degree of protection against creditor claims, forced heirship rules, and political or economic instability, while maintaining a strong emphasis on confidentiality and global applicability. At Zetland we provide end-to-end support in the formation and administration of Seychelles foundations. Our services include bespoke structuring advice, preparation of constitutional documents, and ongoing governance and compliance management. We ensure that each foundation is built on a foundation of clear governance, comprehensive documentation, and full adherence to KYC/AML standards, offering clients a secure and effective platform for long-term wealth preservation
