We are also in the process of setting up our trust structure.
We are currently meeting with prospective accountants and financial advisers and have had some questions raised.
One accountant was surprised that we had heard that a trustee in a discretionary trust can go guarantor for a loan, yet not actually put up an asset as collateral.
[?] His question is that if you do not put up collateral — why would they give you a loan? This question also applied to duplication of a trust structure.
We hope to get some further information at this seminar. If anyone can clarify this for us — it would be great.
