Chapter 15: Tools for Estate Planning

Hindu charitable or religious trusts in India are mainly governed by the provisions of the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.

According to the provided text, if a charitable or religious trust spends at least 85% of its total receipts towards its object in India, there is no tax on the balance 15% of income.

The provided text mentions that the Indian Trust Act does not provide for dissolving a private trust. However, a private trust can become extinct or be revoked, which also means dissolution.

One of the differences mentioned in the provided text is that a will passes through probate, while a family trust does not.

According to the provided text, a private trust comes into existence when the settlor transfers the property to trustees for the benefit of defined beneficiaries.

The person responsible for managing the trust assets is the "Trustee," as mentioned in the provided text.

One of the advantages of a trust mentioned is that a trust can be formed for the welfare of the family members and relatives dependent on the settlor.

Both individuals and businesses can benefit from asset protection strategies. Any individual or business that owns significant personal or business assets and wants to protect them from potential claims or lawsuits can utilize asset protection strategies. It is not limited to a specific group or category; anyone who wants to safeguard their assets from creditors can benefit from implementing appropriate asset protection strategies.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) is an institutional framework that plays a key role in the insolvency resolution process in Indi

India's rank in the World Bank's Index on the ease of resolving insolvencies has improved significantly in recent years.

Asset protection trusts are irrevocable, which means that the settlor cannot change their mind and take back the assets that they have put into the trust. This can be a drawback if the settlor needs to access the assets for some reason. Additionally, asset protection trusts are not always effective in protecting assets from creditors. If a creditor can prove that the trust was created with the intent to defraud them, they may be able to pierce the trust and seize the assets.

According to the Indian Trust Act, the person responsible for settling the property upon trust for the benefit of the beneficiary is referred to as the "Author" or "Settlor."

According to the provided text, the taxation of income in a private trust is determined based on the maximum marginal tax rate.

The powers of trustees are restricted by the trust deed, as defined in Section 48 of the Indian Trust Act.

One of the disadvantages of a trust mentioned is that the structure may be complex.

According to the provided text, a charitable purpose under the Income Tax Act includes relief of the poor, education, medical relief, and advancement of any other object of general public utility.

Corporations and LLPs offer several advantages for asset protection. First, individuals who own corporations or LLPs are not personally liable for the debts of the business. This means that if the business goes bankrupt, the creditors cannot go after the owner's personal assets. Second, corporations and LLPs can provide more privacy for their owners than other business structures. This is because the names of the owners of a corporation or LLP are not typically made public.

The Credit Information Companies (Regulation) Act (CICRA) led to the establishment of credit bureaus like CIBIL in Indi

The provided text mentions that the following conditions need to be fulfilled for Sections 11 and 12 of the Income Tax Act to be applicable to a trust: registration under Section 12AA, activities in accordance with approved objects, audit if receipts exceed Rs. 2,50,000, and timely filing of the return.

Filing for bankruptcy is not an asset protection strategy. In fact, it can actually make it more difficult to protect your assets.

The Indian Trust Act, 1882 is the governing law of trusts in Indi It sets out the basic principles of trusts and provides for the creation, administration, and enforcement of trusts.

Some factors to consider when determining the degree of asset protection required include the identity of the debtor, the identity of the creditor, the nature of the claim, and the nature of the asset. These factors play a crucial role in assessing the level of protection needed for assets. For example, the sharing of properties between a debtor and their spouse is critical, as it can affect the ownership rights and protection strategies. Similarly, the type of claim and the nature of the asset will determine the appropriate level of protection required to safeguard the assets from potential seizure or legal actions.

The primary purpose of asset protection strategies is to protect assets from payment default. These strategies are used by individuals and businesses to shield their assets from potential claims made by creditors in the event of payment default or legal disputes. Asset protection strategies aim to safeguard personal and business assets from being seized or subjected to legal actions that could result in the loss of assets.

The essential elements for forming a trust are:

There must be an author or settlor of the trust.
There must be a trustee.
There must be a beneficiary.

It is important to carefully consider these risks before creating a trust.

Yes, tenants in Tenancy in Common can have unequal shares of the property. Unlike in Joint Tenancy, where the interests must be equal, tenants in common can have different shares of ownership. The shares can be specified in the Will or any other agreement. If no shares are mentioned, it is assumed that the tenants have equal shares in the property.

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) adjudicates insolvency and bankruptcy cases in Indi

The right of survivorship in Joint Tenancy means that upon the death of a joint tenant, their interest in the property passes on to the surviving joint tenant(s). It does not involve the right to sell the property or pass on the interest through a will. Additionally, no joint tenant has the exclusive right to possess any part of the property; all joint tenants have equal rights to possess the whole property or a part of it.

When dealing with an aggressive creditor, the size of the creditor is an important factor to consider in asset protection planning. Aggressive creditors, especially powerful organizations or entities, have more resources and influence to pursue legal actions and seize assets. In such cases, stronger asset protection strategies may be necessary to safeguard assets from being seized or subject to creditor claims.

Public trusts in India, both Hindu and non-Hindu, are governed by the provisions of the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.

In Joint Tenancy, joint tenants cannot leave a will to pass on their interest. The right of survivorship takes precedence, and upon the death of a joint tenant, their interest automatically passes on to the surviving joint tenant(s). Only if a joint tenant is the sole survivor can they pass on their interest through a will.

According to the provided text, a private trust can become extinct or be revoked, which means dissolution, by fulfilling its purpose, becoming unlawful, destruction of trust property, or revocation.

The "Beneficiary" is entitled to receive the benefits of the income and principal of the trust, according to the provided text.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) provides a number of benefits for creditors. First, the IBC provides a time-bound process for resolving insolvencies.

A partial sale from the business can provide liquidity to the owner while funding the younger generation through cash flow.

Probate can be a lengthy and expensive process, can be public, and may not be necessary if the deceased's estate is small.

The main challenge of the public ownership model is maintaining control when owners are not involved in day-to-day business operations.

The distributed model is most sought after as it allows all children to inherit equally and share in the business's assets.

The three major inheritance laws applicable in India are the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs), the Mohammedan Personal Laws (governing inheritance of Muslims), and the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (applicable to Christians, Jews, and Parsis). These laws play an important role when wealth is being transferred to the next generation.

There are two types of nominations: Beneficial Nomination and Non-Beneficial Nomination. A Beneficial Nomination gives the nominee the legal right to the proceeds of the asset, while a Non-Beneficial Nomination does not.

One of the challenges in intergenerational wealth transfer for family businesses is the possibility of lengthy court battles that can delay the transfer and create uncertainty regarding the benefits being passed on to the next generation.

Letter of administration can be a quicker and less expensive process than probate, can be private, and may be necessary if there is no will.

There are a number of strategies that can be used to address the challenges faced by family businesses. Estate planning can help to ensure that the business is transferred to the next generation in a smooth and orderly manner. Creating a trust can help to generate a fixed income stream for the older generation while also providing for the younger generation. Partial sale can help to provide liquidity for the older generation while also funding the younger generation through cash flow from the business.

Family settlements may not be legally binding if they are not properly drafted and executeThey may also not be fair to all parties involved, and they may not be enforceable if one party refuses to comply with the terms of the agreement.

In Joint Tenancy, one of the major conditions is that all the joint tenants must acquire their interest in the property at the same time and from the same transaction. This means that each joint tenant must enter into the ownership arrangement simultaneously and through a single transaction.

The rules for nomination vary for different types of assets. For example, the rules for nomination for bank accounts are different from the rules for nomination for insurance policies. It is important to check the specific rules for the asset in question.

All of the above are challenges of transferring a family business to the next generation. The long court battle leading to the benefits of transfer to the next generation can be a major challenge, as can the sustainability of the wealth when it is transferred to the next generation. The need for highly tax efficient and low cost tools to ensure time bound transfer is also a challenge.

These strategies can address the challenge of transferring assets early while retaining control and providing equity interest to non-involved family members.

The partnership model can face challenges due to unequal succession among family partners.

Net Asset Value is an important factor to consider when valuing a family business that has accumulated assets such as real estate or machinery. These assets can have a value greater than the operating value of the business itself.

Family trusts are a tool for intergenerational wealth transfer that can provide a sustainable framework for passing on wealth to future generations. By transferring wealth to trustees for the benefit of the final beneficiaries, a trust structure ensures long-term sustainability and the real benefits being passed on to future generations.

Capitalizing of Earnings is a method used to value a family business based on the amount of cash flow available to the owner or investors, taking into consideration the overall profitability and capital needs of the business.

A family settlement is a legal document that is used to resolve disputes between family members. It can be used to settle disputes over property, money, or other assets.

All of the above are common challenges faced by family businesses. Succession planning is the process of ensuring that the business is transferred to the next generation in a smooth and orderly manner. Ownership transfer is the process of transferring ownership of the business to the next generation. Financial needs of older and younger generations can also be a challenge, as the older generation may need to generate income from the business while the younger generation may need to be funded through cash flow from the business.

Explanation: Overconfidence Bias is a bias in which individuals demonstrate unwarranted larger faith in their own intuitive reasoning, judgments, and cognitive abilities. It often leads to underestimating losses and can result in sub-optimal investment decisions. It is associated with an illusion of superior knowledge and overestimating one's skills and expertise.

Explanation: Bounded rationality refers to the cognitive limitation of the mind, where decision making favors satisficing solutions (satisfactory and sufficient) instead of optimizing for the optimal solution. It acknowledges that individuals have limited time, information, or ability to process complex information, leading to decision-making based on quick analysis and heuristics rather than full optimization.

Explanation: Loss Aversion Bias describes the tendency of individuals to dislike incurring losses more than they enjoy making gains. It leads to behaviors such as holding onto losing investments for too long and selling winning investments too early. Shefrin and Statman (1985) introduced the concept of the Disposition Effect related to this bias.

Explanation: Behavioral finance recognizes that decision making in real life is often inconsistent, influenced by factors such as experience, recency bias, and loss aversion. Investors may make ad-hoc decisions based on heuristics or thumb rules, and they tend to be more sensitive to losses than gains.

Explanation: Standard finance assumes that decision making is rule-driven and consistent under different scenarios. Investors are expected to make rational decisions based on detailed analysis and adhere to predefined rules and principles.

Explanation: Standard finance theories are based on several key assumptions, including that investors are rational, risk-averse, self-interested utility maximizers, and update their beliefs as new information becomes available. These assumptions form the foundation of traditional finance models.

Explanation: Bounded rationality is a concept introduced by Nobel laureate Herbert Simon. It describes the cognitive limitation of decision making under certain conditions, where individuals process only manageable information, apply rules of thumb or quick approaches, and settle for satisfactory and sufficient solutions. It falls between the concepts of rationality and intuition.

Explanation: The Disposition Effect, introduced by Shefrin and Statman, is associated with Loss Aversion Bias. It refers to the tendency of investors to hold onto losing investments for too long and sell winning investments too early. Loss aversion bias leads to a stronger emotional response to losses, causing investors to avoid realizing losses and preferring to hold onto losing investments.

Explanation: Choice paralysis is caused by having too many options for investment. When individuals are presented with an overwhelming number of choices, they may feel overwhelmed and unable to evaluate and make a decision. Similarly, having too much information can lead to a similar outcome, where individuals struggle to take action due to information overload.

Explanation: Stereotyping Bias involves basing decisions on representative characteristics and general perceptions. Investors may rely on stereotypes or general beliefs about certain characteristics, such as associating a high-profile manager with a well-managed company, without conducting a thorough analysis. This bias can lead to biases in investment decision-making.

Explanation: Mental accounting bias is an information processing bias in which people treat one sum of money differently from another based on the mental account it is kept in. People categorize and evaluate economic outcomes by grouping their assets into different non-fungible mental accounts. This bias can lead to suboptimal decisions, as individuals link their spending to specific budgets and treat money as less fungible than it actually is.

Explanation: Prospect Theory suggests that monetary losses hurt more than monetary gains. Individuals tend to experience greater emotional impact and psychological distress when facing losses compared to the satisfaction they derive from gains. This phenomenon is known as loss aversion and is a key component of Prospect Theory.

Explanation: Framing bias is an information-processing bias in which a person answers a question differently based on how it is asked or frameThe way information or facts are presented can influence an individual's choices. Different framing approaches, such as risky choice framing and attribute framing, can significantly impact decision-making outcomes.

Explanation: Stereotyping Bias in investing refers to the tendency of investors to base their decisions on representative characteristics and general perceptions. It involves forming judgments and making decisions based on preconceived notions and stereotypes rather than a comprehensive analysis of the situation.
