Is a trust really worth it?

I guess everybodies situation is different.

If properties are neg geared or even pos cash flow after tax, then a trust would not be suitable, would they not?

As the losses and write offs cannot be off set against personal income.

the only advantage i can see is if the properties are positive geared before tax, so you can distribute the income when and where you like, to miminise tax paid.
It normally would take a long time to own several properties like that, and you may need the  tax advantage to help you get there quicker.

I guess the other advantage is assett protection.

But if you work for wages, there is less chance of being sued.

Can anybody add some fors or againsts about trusts and their values?

Or correct any of my comments.

thanks for any replies.
