Trust Shake Up

3045

Trustees have now been given fair warning – meet your legal liabilities and run the trust under your stewardship as you should or risk liability and your trust being deemed a sham. 

We've been advising our clients on this for years but the Commissioner has recently come out and said the same thing in black and white in this article. Those responsibilities trustees must meet include completing annual financial statements, resolutions and deeds. Additionally, contact us and we'll talk you through your own trust affairs.

Hi Matthew, my name is Mark Soster and I would just like to congratulate you on your wonderful book Property 101. A few weeks ago I had a "financial awakening" and began devouring all the books I could find on the subject, however I keep coming back to yours. After 3 reissues from the library I think it easier now just to buy it. Wonderfully simple yet complex enough to require multiple reads and note taking. It has taken a lot of the fear away with regards to property investment but also tempered me with caution. Without it I would probably have stupidly invested anywhere but Auckland, telling myself it’s too expensive, I now appreciate why would you invest anywhere else? The numbers never lie, in a 20 year plan then Auckland is King for capital gain. As a fan of maths (the only perfect thing on earth?) I can see how each opportunity can be ruthlessly examined on a purely financial level. Anyway, thanks again, I will definitely be contacting your company with regards to coaching and expertise. - Mark Soster - October 2017
