How do I set up a family trust for succession?

Short answerA family trust lets you pass assets to the next generation smoothly — you transfer assets to the trust, name beneficiaries, and avoid the delays and disputes of inheritance. Done right, it gives control, protection and orderly succession; the tax and stamp-duty treatment needs planning.

How it helps succession

Assets held by the trust pass per your terms, avoiding probate-style delays and family disputes.

Plan tax and stamp duty
