Hi to all the Accountants here!
I have a general question regarding using Trusts to hold properties, Shares etc.
I am a PAYG employee married with family etc.
I have spoken to some investors who have bought alot of properties in their own names and have not used Trusts to hold them. But i have also read that alot of people are purchasing in HDT or DT's to hold proeprty etc.
My question is do i really need to set up a Trust and what are the advantages or disadvatages if i don't set one up now or in the future.
I want to build a property portfolio also with shares etc for my future retirement, but i don't not work in any profession where i can be legally sued i don't think anyway.
What do other investors think?
thanks
