Can You Trust a Trust?
Can You Trust a Trust?
Wealth management is something that is forever changing, with new laws, new practices, new schemes, but in the last 21 years of existence, the Wealth Masters way of creating and protecting wealth has hardly changed, because everything we do is based on core principles and built around specialised TTS Trusts.
One question that consistently comes up: Can you trust a Trust?
Today, I am going to delve into the matter of Trusts and Trust structures, addressing the common misconceptions and shedding light on the invaluable benefits that come with proper Trust planning.
The Trust Conundrum: Understanding the Value
Trusts are often misunderstood when it comes to assets in financial planning. Yet, they are one of the STRONGEST keys to safeguarding and maximizing your wealth. A well-structured Trust can offer protection, tax advantages, and seamless wealth transfer across generations.
Why do you need a Trust?
Simple – it’s your blueprint for securing your legacy for your spouse and for your children when you pass away. In fact, the correct trust will be for the benefit of your grandchildren, their children, their children’s grandchildren, and the list goes on because a Trust can last forever.
Trusts act as powerful tools for asset protection, allowing you to shield your hard-earned wealth from unforeseen risks and potential legal challenges.
Tax Efficiency
Besides being an amazing tool for protecting your assets and wealth, Trusts can be instrumental in minimizing your tax liabilities, offering you a major advantage in your wealth preservation. With the right guidance, you can capitalize on tax-saving opportunities while ensuring compliance with ever-changing regulations.
In fact, with a specialised TTS Trust you can pay as little as ZERO tax. This fact always shocks everyone we speak to because people know a Trust to be an entity that is taxed at 45%. But those people have not yet learned about the powers of a TTS Trust that is created to take the incredible unknown tax principles of South Africa into account and use them to your advantage.
The Role of the Independent Trustee
Selecting an independent trustee is a very important decision in establishing your Trust. Besides being a legal requirement to ensure your Trust is compliant, it is also vitally important that your independent trustee is specialised and fully understands the stringent laws around the management of a Trust.
