Do you want a testamentary trust will?
Dear readers
In this day and age when most families have assets worth more than $1 million, it is necessary to think about preparing a testamentary trust will instead of a simple will.
What is the difference? The main issue is asset protection especially from a failed marriage. There is also good tax savings.
Please see the attached slide.

What is a binding financial agreement?
Dear readers
I seem to be preparing quite a few binding financial agreements recently.
They are like pre nuptials and are very useful if drafted properly so that your assets are protected in the event of a marriage breakdown.
Val Antoff from my office has been great in preparing the slideshow for more information on binding financial agreements.
Have a look at:

Volunteering at the Shopfront
Dear readers
Spent another interesting night volunteering at the Shopfront at Maylands.
We nearly could not open shop as there was only me, Brian and Jeannette at the soup kitchen and the safety protocol requires at least 4 persons to open up to receive the homeless.
Luckily 3 more volunteers came in at 6.05 pm.
Jeannette is to be complimented for her volunteering work. She is Irish I believe and has been helping at the Shopfront for over 6 years.
She was the guiding light in the kitchen giving me directions.
We had over 60 visitors today asking for more and more toasties and soup.
The gratifying part is when some of the people we help come and say thank you and good night. Some are demanding expecting charity as their right. Most are aware of their situation and thankful for the soup kitchen.
One actually wrote a poem for the volunteers and I will publish it here,
When I got home my youngest son asked me if I had a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. Yes, I did, it is good to be able to help the less fortunate. In our world of privilege, it is good to give back.
Good night.
