How Can A Family Trust Protect My Family's Assets?

Protect against bankruptcy or financial loss

A family trust can protect your property and other assets from being claimed by your creditors.

Protect against sideways disinheritance

A family trust can protect your children’s inheritance if you or they remarry or enter into a new long-term relationship. Assets passed to your own children can pass directly to your grandchildren instead of an in-law.

Protect against probate costs and delays

Probate can take up to 2 years to process. Property and assets owned by a family trust are not subject to probate and can be distributed straight after death while also relieving the family of heavy probate costs.

Protect your children's financial future

Funds in a family trust can be used for schooling, university, or home ownership. Assets can be added to the trust and made available to your children at a certain age,

protect against inheritance tax

Minimise costly inheritance tax by securing your assets in a family trust.

Protect yourself against illness or mental incapacity

If you become unable to make important decisions, assets in your family trust can be managed on your behalf by a trustee. You also have access to funds in the trust as needed to help maintain the quality of your life.
