Protecting your assets
As you know, it can take years, even a lifetime, to accumulate your most precious assets – your family’s home, other properties, perhaps a business and investments. So you need to protect them carefully. Our experienced team will work closely with you to develop the best way to protect your assets that's geared towards your goals and situation.
Asset planning
Safeguarding your assets for your family and for future generations is one of the most important things you can do. From asset planning and asset protection to succession planning, we’ll discuss your family’s needs and how we can help you achieve the outcomes that best suit your personal situation.
Setting up & administering trusts
A trust can be one of the most flexible ways to hold and manage assets for family and loved ones. Our specialist trust team has significant experience in setting up and administering trusts for our clients, efficiently and cost-effectively. We offer timely, practical advice on all aspects of trusts to ensure that yours is structured and managed in a way that protects your assets and achieves your goals.
Gifting your assets
Since gift duty reforms in 2011, you now have greater freedom to gift assets. Talk to us before embarking on any gifting to avoid unexpected pitfalls.
Protecting yourself
Because you just never know what might happen in the future, we can advise on trust structures to help manage your personal risk. We can also draft a ‘contracting out agreement’, which can help protect your property if you separate from your partner.
Charitable Trusts
To help our clients achieve their philantrophic goals, our team can offer specialist advice on the formation or restructure of charitable trusts and related regulatory compliance and approvals.
Estate administration
