Trusts and foundations
Vaslin Associés regularly assists professional trustees, settlors and beneficiaries to help them understand and manage their French tax and other reporting obligations, particularly when carrying out transactions in connection with France (financial or real estate investments, asset disposals, income or capital distribution, etc.).
It also offers trust dissolution or asset extraction services, where we substitute a vehicle that is better suited to the interested parties’ legal and tax environment, in cases of a change of residence, for example.
The firm also represents these clients over the course of their relations with the tax authorities, including for regularisations.
