ASSET PROTECTION

It’s about protecting your long term interests.

You’ve worked hard for your assets: your home, your business, cars, boat, shares and any other investments you may have, but are they adequately protected?

This is why putting an appropriate asset protection strategy in place is so important. With so many different strategies and options, asset protection can be complicated, but with the right professional to advise you, it doesn’t have to be.

Structuring & asset protection

Structuring your personal and business affairs in order to protect your asset base can be complicated and requires careful thought and planning.

New Zealand has historically had a proliferation of trusts, although trust structures are not for everyone. But should you have requirements for succession planning or asset protection, then a trust structure may suit your needs.

  • Family succession / estate planning
  • Simplify your trust
  • Trust reporting and IRD compliance
  • Trust management & administration
  • Charities Commission reporting compliance
