Trusts & Structuring
The right structure protects assets, manages tax and makes succession orderly. We set trusts up properly, administer them correctly and unwind them cleanly when the time comes.
Overview
Structures that hold up, legally and financially.
Trusts sit at the intersection of law, tax and accounting, which is exactly why they go wrong when those three are handled by different people. We draft the deed, advise on the tax treatment, prepare the resolutions and keep the accounts, so the structure works the way it was intended.
We advise families and business owners on discretionary and family trusts, unit trusts for co-owned assets and businesses, testamentary trusts and self-managed superannuation fund structures, together with the wills, powers of attorney and succession plans that make them effective across generations.
