For private property, can a trust be set up to avoid it being a matrimonial home or protect it from creditor claims? Who can be the beneficiaries in this case? Can the settlor be one of the beneficiaries too?

Hi,

1) Trust is an instrument to protect wealth. Lately was popular with property investors.
2) According to Bankruptcy act section 78(2)(a); property held by the bankrupt on trust for any other person; If the property is held on trust for "any other person" will not be crawl back and divisible among his creditors.
meaning the beneficiary must be another person rather than the person who went into bankruptcy.
3) So it will not be protected from creditor claims if the settlor (trustee) is also the beneficiary.
4) Current trust is commonly used as a forced saving for the next generation and beyond so that the wealth can be passed down without worry of creditors' claim.
