    Hi Joe,

    I have just finished openning up a trust so I think I can help you a bit.

    A couple of good reasons for using a trust are:
    1. Tax minimisation
    2. Asset protection

    In very very simplified terms, the trust can be equated to a company with you controlling it. The company buys properties (or other assests such as shares) and if (hopefully)…[Read more]

    Thanks GP and Terry,

    I had a very quick look at Dale Gatherum-Goss’s website and from the list of contents, those books look like they are exactly what I’m after.

    Thanks again,
    Andrew

    Well, thanks to cheap international calling cards I gave ME a call this morning (or afternoon depending where you are).

    Thanks for you advice.

    Luckily, there are heaps of locum positions for her, so from…[Read more]

    Thanks Rob,

    The bank is Members Equity, which from our dealings so far seems to a little more open than some of the big banks.

    We’ll give it a shot.
    Cheers.
