Trusts

There are a range of reasons why people decide to hold assets in, or transfer assets to a trust. These include taxation considerations and for asset protection purposes. However, it is often not as simple as a straight transfer of an asset to a trust or a declaration that an asset is now being held on trust. Rather, there are a number of legal and taxation considerations which must be taken into account to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved with a minimum of fuss and expense.
