Discretionary trust establishment

Discretionary trust establishment

Discretionary trusts allow their potential beneficiaries to control assets without actually owning the assets - very useful for asset protection purposes.

By being able to spread income among the beneficiaries a Discretionary trust allows the flexibility to ensure the full marginal tax rates of various beneficiaries can be utilised. 

Fixed entitlement structures like companies and unit trusts may not necessarily offer this flexibility.

Your discretionary trust documentation includes:

  • deed
  • complete instructions
  • consents 
  • minutes
  • draft letter to Stamping Authority

IMPORTANT: Director Identification Number
