OK - I've been doing some more research on trusts, and now I totally get why they're a good idea. I've also ordered Dale's book to learn some more.
Now: how do I go about setting up a trust? How long does it take? How much does it cost? Also, I've read that they can be a pain-in-the-butt to maintain. What is everyone's experience with this? I'm just an ordinary person with no tax or accounting expertise. Would I be able to cope with managing a trust?
And finally: this is a real dumb question, but I need to ask it. Do I need a different trust for each IP I buy? Or do I only have to set up ONE for all future IPs?
Thanks,
Harriet
