Family trust planning
Family trust planning consists of a roadmap for complete estate planning to ensure your next generation is able to live in the lifestyle they are used to. At the same time, they will learn to use the resources wisely to manage and preserve wealth while growing and investing them based on your wishes.
The 3 pillars which are the core of the family trust planning are:
- Will writing: decide who will be the executor, children’s guardian, and beneficiaries
- Family trust: decide what is the purpose, how, and when your wealth is transferred
- Trust funding: decide on the amount (how much) of your wealth is transferable to your beneficiaries
Our trust planning service is priced from RM2000.
Financial planning
It’s not just about deciding a budget, starting to save money, and planning a retirement.
To create a solid financial plan, it should include estate planning as it protects your loved ones’ interests beyond your financial assets.
In financial planning, Mr Wills’ team will assess your overall financial health. With proper guidance, you will be able to make decisions about present assets in an effort to achieve greater financial freedom and meet financial goals for yourself/your business in the future.
Estate tax planning
Basically, you use tax planning to ensure you pay the least amount of taxes possible by analyzing your financial situation or plan.
There are five general tax objectives of estate planning: providing for loved ones, making sure assets are distributed appropriately, protecting them, minimizing taxes, avoiding or minimizing probate, and planning for incapacity.
Good news is, Malaysia does not impose any type of death tax, inheritance tax, or estate duty at the moment. A deceased individual’s accumulated wealth is not subject to a final tax.
In other words, there will be no tax levied on the inherited assets, whether immovable or movable. In the event that the new owner decides to sell the property, the tax will be imposed. In cases where movable assets, such as mutual funds, gold, shares, etc., are sold, the new owner will not be subject to taxes.
