When considering any structure, you want to assess how suitable it is for your and your circumstances. Things to consider, include:
- The status of the structure in relation to income tax, capital gains tax and land tax.
- The status of the structure in relation to asset protection.
- The level of control provided by the structure and succession planning considerations.
- The flexibility to change as circumstances might dictate.
- The initial and ongoing costs associated with setting up and running the structure.
These are typically used when an investment is held for an infant beneficiary or a property is held by a trustee to protect the identity of the beneficiary.
If you are considering your a Trust, your Estate Plan, asset protection or business structures, it is important that you seek appropriate legal advice, so you are aware of your rights and where you stand.
