About this statute

A permit to establish a foundation may be granted only if the assets to be transferred to the foundation are worth at least 25,000 euros; a testamentary foundation can be permitted if the asset value matches the amount required at the time the will was made. When asking the Finnish Patent and Registration Office to confirm a foundation rule change or consent to a merger or dissolution, the application must state the reasons and include certified meeting minutes; for a rule change, it must also include the full amended rules. Poikkeusta haettaessa hakemuksessa on kerrottava, mihin seikat perustuvat. Jos hakemus koskee tiettyä henkilöä, mukaan on liitettävä hänen täydellinen nimensä, osoitteensa, asuinpaikkansa ja suomalainen henkilötunnuksensa tai, jos sitä ei ole, syntymäaika. A foundation dissolution decision must specify how accounting records and key documents are to be kept, and the dissolution notice must include a description of the dissolution measures and the final accounts. Patentti- ja rekisterihallituksen on pidettävä säätiöistä aakkosellista luetteloa ja tehtävä siihen määrätyt merkinnät.
