A testamentary trust is a trust created within your Will that only takes effect after your death. It helps manage and distribute assets tax-effectively while providing protection for your beneficiaries.
If you want to reduce tax, protect inheritances from divorce or creditors, or ensure responsible distribution of assets, a testamentary trust is a great option.
Income from testamentary trusts can be distributed to children at adult tax rates, meaning more of your wealth stays within your family instead of going to the ATO.
The fixed fee includes a complete testamentary trust will package for a couple, plus powers of attorney and enduring guardianships – everything needed for comprehensive estate planning.
