This paper looks at the role of testamentary trusts to produce the desired balance and protections of all the loved ones. It considers:

  • what is a testamentary trust?
  • life interests - benefits and problems (or advantages and disadvantages)
  • choosing the right trustee/s
  • are some assets better than others in a testamentary trust (eg. superannuation, main residence)?
  • practical hints to achieve desired outcomes.
