家庭信托如何保护资产

当人们遭遇到一些事,例如离婚,破产或者欠债, 那么个人持有的资产也会存在损失的风险。在这种情况下法院裁决的结果往往会是不利于业主的个人财产损失。

家庭信托是一种全权信托,它是保护资产最好的一种形式。因为家庭信托的受益人不拥有信托名下的财产,与这些财产也不存在任何利益关系。这就意味着如果受益人欠债或被要求索赔,债权人很难拿到信托名下的资产。

家庭信托的运作方式

你和你的家庭成员都可以成为家庭信托的受益人。家庭信托的受益人与信托财产不存在任何利益关系。当信托受托人决定从信托中分派资产时(无论是收入还是资本),受益人都会有更多的期待想要分到更多。

因为受益人对信托资产没有任何的权利,他们的个人资产不包括信托名下的资产,所以当他们发生破产或者其他事情时,信托的资产尤其受到保护。

家庭信托可以持有的资产类型

  • 合伙人的利益
  • 私营贸易公司和控股公司的股份
  • 产生收入的资产,比如出租的物业,住宅,工厂,商铺和办公室
  • 上市公司的股份
  • 生意

如何控制家庭信托

家庭信托必须有一个受托人使其成为合法的实体。该受托人拥有绝对的权利来决定受益人可以获得信托资产的哪部分,他们什么时候可以获得以及如何获得。请注意如果离婚时受托人管理资产还是有可能算到离婚资产的一部分。

税收优惠

你的家庭可以使用家庭信托来进行税务规划,受托人可以拆分家庭成员的收入通过信托重新安排到家庭个别人员名下。而且通过出售资产而获得的利益,家庭信托也有资格申请50%的资本增值税折扣优惠。此资本增值的收入可以分配到受益人。因为家庭成员收入不等税率不等,所以通过信托拆分收入可以让家庭获得税率的优势,减少应付税额。
