  • why do I want a trust anyway?
  • the four main ownership structure for property – personal, partnership, trusts and companies
  • the benefits and disadvantages of each ownership structure
  • the different types of trust commonly used to own property such as family trusts, investment trusts and trading trusts
  • who should be the trustees, how many, and what liability they may be exposed to
  • how trustee liability can be managed
  • managing a trusts finances
  • minutes of meetings and resolutions
  • any other requirements that must be complied with
  • what does the IRD look for when it suspects a trust may be a sham?
