All Topics / General Property / What are Trusts
Hi All
I was Reading Before about people purcashing IP in the trusts rather than in there name. What dose this do? dose it have tax advantages? is it like setting up a company to buy Properties. I really have no idea what trusts are.

Hi Mad-cat,
Trusts do have some tax advantages but often overlooked is the potential for asset protection.
As TD said recommend you buy Trust Magic (~$99) at http://www.gatherumgoss.com
If you would like a copy of the index to see what the book covers email me and I’ll send via return email.

In a nutshell, a trust is an agreement whereby you (trustee) hold an asset on behalf of somebody else (beneficiaries).
eg. having a child’s bank account in the parents name – the money is the kids, but the parent manages it.

great analogy Terry, most important is asset protection from litigation, also your beneficiaries (children) can take lonns from dispersments to purchese a home in the future then pay it back to the Trust bla bla bla.
