Legal events relating to the establishment and operation of a family foundation will usually show a connection only with the territory of Poland and relate to persons being Polish citizens continuously resident in Poland. In such cases, there is no doubt about the application of Polish law to the assessment of legal acts and other events relating to a family foundation. However, it is not excluded that there may also arise, in the context of such foundations, a connection with other countries, persons being foreigners, persons resident abroad or assets situated abroad. The legislator did not introduce any major barriers against such situations. The above connections relate predominantly to parties involved in the establishment and operation of family foundations and to legal acts performer in relation to the creation of such entities and their property. In particular, it must be emphasised that the statutory requirement provided for the founding act, testament and constitution to comply with the form of notarial deed does not exclude a possibility of complying with that formality also abroad with the involvement of a foreign notary.
