I would like a few basic/generic examples in visual / tree diagram form. Eg basic set up for mum and dad who when deceased will leave behind their properties in a trust to their kids. Who would / could / should play the roles ( those trustee name parts). Trusts for dummies.
Do the ages of the kids come into consideration. I believe children of a certain age who has passed the $450 or so income threshold are taxed at 50%. Is it at 16 that the adult thresholds apply? So even if assets go into trust for each kid, the younger kid is going to lose half of their income from that asset because of their age? Does it need to be set up as an educational trust or something where school fees are paid with the income so expenses outweigh the income or balance the income until child turns 18. Sorry if that doesn't make sense
Probably not to legilsation. Or even legislation. Many peoples' eyes will glaze over. Unless it's easily digestible.Would it be a good idea to include references to legilsation and caselaw. And links to these?
Summaries of cases?
I don't want it to become like a legal textbook though.
If you are talking about trusts in wills then the income is taxed as if the children were adults.
If people like us are your target audience then my answer is definite no. You don't need to prove me that you are right. This is not a research paperWould it be a good idea to include references to legilsation and caselaw. And links to these?
Yes - thank you
I also like Tano's suggestion.
After we finish accumulating our lot for our retirement and end game we would like to think we can start something for the kids. How do you do this
Thank terry
1. Simple trust ....
and explanation of that in a book would be good.
Do you have a time frame for completing the book or first draft? Looking forward to it.
