STill not enough detail to answer.

This is like trying goolge for medical advice. A sore stomach may be indigestion or it may be an appendix for example.

Is also not just a matter of determineing tje name of a structure but how to structure the structure. E.g you may think you need to set up a discretionary trust but who should be trustee. If a company who should be director who should be shareholder. How many shares what type of shares. Constitution or none. Terms of constution. Sharehokder agreements. What happens with loans. How to minimise guarantees.

With the trust who shoukd be appointor who backup appointor. What terms of the trust. Any restrictions on trustee benefiting. Any stamp duty implications on changing trustee. What about adding “partners” down the track. Can it be done and how.

What happens on your death?

What happpens onyour incapacity? Do you have a power of attorney? Could this attorney take control of you trustee company and or the role of appointor?

ETc etc

THis is why you need legal advice in setting up a structure. Find a lawyer with a spell checker.

I don't see this making any difference to owning the property in your personal capacity. If you are looking at landlord's insurance then it may, but not for building.

May have to work this out over several posts.

FIrst, who is the owner of the cash? You, spouse, trust a , trust b etc? And where is it sitting now?

Hi Dean

JUst becareful when different entities are involved. Transferring from one to the other is possible but just think of classication. Is it a loan or a gift etc.Things can get messy and it will eventually become impossible to work out.this can lead to weakening of asset protection and estate planning problems too.

If ing sold the security property and there was a shortfall they would then be an unsexured creditor

House of weslth sre good on the expat side. Speak to michael there in melb office.

Whole new application I am afraid. Many things to consider too besides the rate.

YOu have to seek legal advice before implementing this as sounds like domonant purpose is a tax advantage

I've never heard of court orders like that. Do they prevent you from entering bankruptcy, but what about someone else initiating the bankruptcy proceedings?

This is simply not true.

Only a lawyer with a current practicing certificate can provide legal advice. In NSW the relevant legislation is s 14 of the Legal Profession Act

Anthony, have you any references to back up your claim? When you raised this issue before I challenged you and you did not reply.

Incidently, setting up a trust entails the provision of legal advice. Only lawyers can set up trusts.
