Philanthropy & Family Trusts | Expert Family Office Advisory

As wealth grows, so does the desire to dedicate a portion to meaningful philanthropy—charitable, educational, or other causes close to the family’s heart. Beyond creating personal fulfilment, such initiatives link family values with a wider purpose and raise awareness for the chosen cause.

At TAP, our family office advisory services guide clients in structuring and managing their philanthropic commitments effectively. We are experienced in establishing family trusts, family protection trusts, and foundations that reflect each family’s unique objectives while ensuring long-term governance and compliance.

Our team works closely with clients and their advisers to design bespoke solutions—from setting up private foundations to managing donations, involving key family members, and overseeing reputational considerations. Whether you’re engaging in high net worth philanthropy or seeking trusted advice from a family trust lawyer, we help ensure every charitable effort creates lasting impact while protecting family values and wealth.
