Media say Yes to Family Trusts

3063

I'm feeling pretty pleased that the Media is picking up the idea that having a family trust isn't just a nice "extra' in life but is going to become an "essential". Have a look at this link and you will see the interview I recently gave.

Remember the motto, if you don't own something it can't be taken from you. In other words, if you don't own the house, it can't be taken into account for means testing purposes, which I think is very likely when looking at future superannuation pay-outs. The latest Budget and the tax changes being implemented all lead me to this view.
