I am looking ofr information on property investment structures such as trusts to hold residential properties in for asset protection and estate planning purposes.
I currently have a number of properties in my own name and in partnerships with up to four other people. ( all in personal names).
My research indicates that this is not an ideal situation to be in from an asset protection point of view. IE if someone sues me or any of the partners then all the properties may be at risk.
I am planning further investments in western Canada and would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a trust or company to make further investments.
