    I understand there are structures where you gift money to a trust (the value of the house) and then the trust loans you back the money to pay for the house and takes a first or second mortgage over the property so there is effectively no equity in your PPOR. In the event of bankruptancy or being sued, there is no equity in the PPOR and so no assets to sue for.

    I would be seting up discretionary trusts or some other appropriate structure now if I were you and not waiting for 10 years down the track when you have $10m of equity/assets before realizing you have a tax, asset protecting and succession planning problem.

    Cheers,
    Luke

    You have tO be careful with that strategy as the clawback provisions of the bankruptcy act could apply indefinitely. But I agree that it is an excellent strategy that could be implemented with care

    Thanks Terry, I have really only heard people discussing it off hand but not heard a lawyer saying it can actually be done and that it works. I will look into it and get good advice when (or if) that time comes.

    Cheers,
    Luke
