Need a Trust set up? Speak to G&B Lawyers

Trusts can be used as a tax minimisation strategy; as a means of providing shared income for family members; to minimise the risk of creditors making a claim against your assets; and to place valuable assets out of the direct control of individuals at risk of making poor decisions that may affect a number of stakeholders involved. 

One type of discretionary trust is a family trust.

A trustee (frequently one of the family members) is elected to hold assets in their name for the benefit of a group of beneficiaries.

Although one or more person can be elected as trustee, so to can a company. This is beneficial in terms of avoiding difficulty experienced in situations such as the death of a trustee, or in circumstances where a trustee is declared bankrupt. 
G&B Lawyers can assist you with:

• Drafting trusts
• Reviewing trusts to ensure they comply with financial and trust-related legal requirements
• Advice for your accountant to make suitable arrangements
• Advice for structuring your trust in ways to minimise the chance of claims being made under family law or debt recovery proceedings.

Property & Projects at G&B Lawyers

G&B Lawyers are experts in getting Development Consents and property development.

Did you know that if Council refuses a Development Application (DA) you have a right of appeal to the Land & Environment Court.

Appealing your DA also includes DAs which have not been resolved by Council within a reasonable length of time.

The Land & Environment Court is a specialist court designed to hear and determine DA appeals involving all different types of development projects e.g. residential / commercial / industrial developments, childcare centres, retirement villages and waste depots (to name a few).

These DA appeals are not heard by Judges but specialist Commissioners who have practical experience with developments. 

Normally specialist lawyers appear for the parties to resolve the issues and run the hearing. 

In DA appeals you only have to pay your own lawyers fees, if you lose the appeal, who are not up for the winning side's legal fees.  In other courts, (Supreme & District) if you lose you will have to pay the other side's legal bill.  The rule in the Land & Environment Court is that each party pays their own legal costs.

G&B Lawyers has over 10 years experience in running DA appeals in the Land & Environment Court.

We have run all sorts of appeals, childcare centres, retirement villages, major commercial developments, residential flat buildings, recycling waste facilities, landfills, hotels / pubs, churches, shop top housing, hobby farm developments and horse training facilities to name a few.
