Tax-effective 3-Generation Testamentary Trust Will

Professor Brett Davies developed Legal Consolidated’s 3-Generation Testamentary Trust in 1997. Your beneficiaries use the flexibility in the Will to protect themselves from:

  1. de facto death duties of CGT, income tax and stamp duty;
  2. 32% tax on superannuation paid to adult children with Superannuation Testamentary Trusts;
  3. bankruptcy with Bankruptcy Trusts;
  4. divorce with Divorce Protection Trusts; and
  5. being under 18, vulnerable or receiving Centrelink.

The trusts are flexible. A beneficiary can use the trust, leave it dormant, or turn it off when it is no longer required. Each beneficiary receives their own 3-Generation Testamentary Trust to use when needed.

The will provides freedom to divide the assets. Say your estate has $1 million in shares, $1 million in property and $1 million in cash. One child can take the shares. Another can take the property. The remaining child can take the cash. This stops an artificial split of every asset and helps reduce unnecessary CGT and stamp duty.
