Where the trustee gets to decide which beneficiaries should receive income or capital distribution from the trust and to what extent.

Hybrid & Property Trusts

Protect your assets while providing access to many effective wealth acceleration and estate planning strategies.

Testamentary Trusts

As part of your Will, a testamentary trust can assist in safeguarding all or a portion of your estate, investing the assets prudently, and distributing the estate’s assets and income to your beneficiaries.

Superannuation Proceeds Trusts

Established to receive a lump sum death benefit payment from a super fund, these trusts take advantage of concessional tax treatment, direct assets to specific dependants, and can flexibly distribute income and capital yearly.

Protective Trusts & Special Disability Trusts

Earmark funds for specific purposes or access, such as for a disadvantaged or spendthrift child.
