Here’s a quick overview of the Protector strategy that can be pivotal in safeguarding your family’s wealth.
The Protector utilizes a Gift-Loan Back Mechanism to transfer assets—such as cash, jewelry, and equity in family homes—into a Family Protection Trust (FPT) while retaining legal title. This approach not only shields assets from risks but also avoids stamp duty and capital gains tax, making it highly cost-effective.
