Common questions
Frequently asked
Is asset protection legal?+
Yes — when done before any creditor or claim arises. Transferring assets to defeat existing creditors is not — and we won't help with that. Genuine planning is a normal part of how families and businesses are structured in Australia.
Do I need a family trust?+
Not everyone does. We look at your asset base, your business risk and your family situation before recommending a structure.
Does a company protect my personal assets?+
A company offers limited liability for the company's debts — but directors can be personally liable in many situations. Asset protection sits alongside company structure, not instead of it.
How often should I review my structure?+
Every 3–5 years, and after any major life or business event. Tax and trust law change — what worked a decade ago may need adjusting.
Will you work with my accountant?+
Yes — and we usually insist on it. The best structures are designed jointly with your tax adviser.
