Family Trust Fund related personnel:
The creation, management and benefit sharing of New Zealand trust funds usually involve three types of people:
Trustee, a person who applies to create a fund, such as yourself. Trustee, the person who manages the fund, this person can be yourself, but for professional reasons, you should usually be the beneficiary. The beneficiary of a fund, usually a family member or someone you designate, can have multiple beneficiaries.
Fund founders have the right to appoint, dismiss or replace fund managers; If the founder of the fund dies, the fund will still operate normally and the beneficiaries will be protected. Family trust funds in New Zealand can be valid for up to 80 years, counting from the date of establishment.
The disadvantages of family trust are:
1) spend money. A simple trust structure requires a set of trust legal documents, so it will involve expensive attorney fees. Then a professional trust company should be appointed.
2) Transfer of asset control rights. Legally speaking, once the family trust is established, the property trustee has transferred the ownership of the property, so he has no control over these assets. Strictly speaking, it is the trust trustee who controls these assets, not the property trustee. Of course, the trustee of the trust cannot dispose of these properties at will. He needs to manage or distribute these properties according to the scope and conditions stipulated in the trust.
