Trusts can provide a wide variety of planning opportunities to address anything from tax planning opportunities to family law issues, passing wealth from one generation to the next, protecting vulnerable family members and protecting family relationships.
Our trust lawyers are experts in a wide variety of trusts that can help you achieve your goals including: inter-vivos trusts, family trusts (for income splitting and maximizing access to capital gain exemption), foreign property trusts, housing trusts, bare trusts, Henson trusts, alter ego trusts, joint partner trusts, spousal trusts, and insurance trusts.
The administration of trusts can be complex and overwhelming. Trusts are often subject to convoluted legal and procedural rules that must be dealt with carefully in order to ensure assets are protected, taxes are minimized, cross-border issues addressed, and minors as well as disabled family members are provided for.
