Family trusts are as popular today as ever. They allow you to have the benefit, use and control of your assets without being penalized for owning them. But there are traps for the unwary. This book brings together all the information you need to know about how family trusts work, their benefits and disadvantages. Clearly written for the layperson, it includes up-to-date advice about superannuation, estate and taxation planning and is particulary useful for owners of small and medium-size businesses, wage and salary earners, and those who are retired. Many people have set up family trusts but need advice on how to maintain and manage their trust and in this volume Martin will condense and update the information from his book Managing Family Trusts, which is now out of print.
