Amendment of the articles of incorporation of a foundation in Romania
Corporate lawyer in Romania. Foundation registration in Romania
When establishing a foundation in Romania, it is crucial to understand the articles of incorporation required for any nonprofit organization in Romania, as compliance with association law in Romania ensures that a business lawyer in Romania can effectively assist in navigating the legal complexities of establishing a foundation in Romania while drafting the necessary articles of incorporation for a successful nonprofit organization in Romania.
Under the current regulation regarding the Law on foundations and associations, for the establishment of nonprofit organizations in Romania, the articles of incorporation are no longer required. Therefore, the document based on which the foundation registration in Romania or the association registration in Romania will be carried out is the statute, which sets the purpose of the organization, the amount of the initial assets intended to fulfill the organization’s objectives, the rights of the members, and the operating conditions of the NGO. A foundation statute must be concluded in authentic form or under private signature. The Romanian law firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends concluding a foundation statute in authentic form, as the legal force of such a document is much greater and more difficult to contest compared to a document under private signature. A commercial lawyer or a corporate lawyer in Romania, specialized in associations and foundations, can offer support in drafting the organization’s statute, as well as representation before a public notary for the authentication of the document in order to produce legal effects when establishing a foundation in Romania.

After the association registration in Romania or foundation registration in Romania takes place, a series of changes related to management and organization may occur, which will implicitly bring modifications to the foundation’s statute. The reasons that determine the modification of a foundation’s statute may include changing the headquarters, changing the purpose of the foundation and the activities carried out, modifying the management structure, increasing the initial assets, or adapting to legislative changes. Since these changes concern the manner of carrying out the activity, decisions are made with the vote of the governing bodies, in accordance with the current statute.
The Law on foundations and associations provides that the modification of a foundation’s statute is done by registering the amendment in the register of associations and foundations located at the court clerk’s office in whose territorial jurisdiction the foundation has its headquarters. The documents required for modifying the statute of a foundation include the application for registration of the modification, the minutes of the general assembly in authentic form, and the new version of the foundation’s statute. In the event that the change concerns the headquarters of the foundation, the documents must be accompanied by the minutes of the meeting of the board of directors in authenticated form.

Furthermore, the Law on Foundations and Associations states that all actions regarding the authentication and registration of the minutes are undertaken by the board of directors, and the authentication at the public notary can only be carried out in the presence of the members of the board of directors or some of them, designated by the general assembly or the board of directors, as the case may be.
