About the Webinar

In the 1970’s private family trusts became a common tax avoidance tool, but tax crackdowns, increasing compliance costs and generational change have all impacted the benefits of family trusts. This session will examine the place of the discretionary family trust in estate planning and whether it is still an attractive proposition, including:

  • An analysis of the pro’s and con’s of family trusts
  • Consequences of changing taxation treatment and potential governmental reforms
  • Are compliance and costs outweighing benefits?
  • The impact of generational change on family trust management and benefits
  • Issues of control, loss of capacity and dispute management
  • What to do with family trusts reaching their use by date?
  • Strategies for reviewing and renewing family trust deeds and structures
  • Are there more effective options for family asset protection and beneficial tax treatment?
