All Topics / Legal & Accounting / Trusts – Protection or Not??
At the last seminar that Steve ran in Melbourne, he mentioned that on his purchases where he uses a Trust, he at times has also had to give a personal guarantee for the loan..
If you give a personal guarantee, does that not really completely dilute your protection???
If someone knows the answer then I would be grateful for your advice.

What is someone sues you for farting in an elevator, and you go bankrupt. Your trust assets will probably be safe.
If you decide to stop paying the trust loan, then the bank will come after it, and then the guarrantor if there is not enough. This is expected, and fair.

Thanks Terryw. But why bother with Trusts & Companies if you go an give a personal guarantee. Sounds like a waste of time & money setting up a structure to protect your assets it you then leave yourself wide open personally.
Don’t understand this!!!!!

I think you still misunderstand. The guarrantee only relates to the loan, you can still be attached from other angles, and a trust helps protect you from these.
