Personal Finance & Money Asked by Prabu on February 2, 2021
My father is retiring and would like to pass on the family home to my sister and me. We are both adults now and do not live in the home. I should also so mention, we are based in Sydney, Australia.
The house is paid for completely and there is nothing owing on it. I would prefer to rent it out instead of selling it as I believe it has room to increase in value over the years.
We are trying to figure out what the options are:
I am wondering if a family trust is a good structure in this scenario, as I am sure it is a common one. Is it worth it, with all the complexity and costs?
I don’t believe there will be capital gains tax to be paid as the house has been his main residence during the transfer. However, there will be capital gains tax based on the difference in valuations at the time of renting it out and when/if we sell it in the future.
Thanks.
