#83 Family Law Protection of Trusts: Rigby & Kingston and Caldwell & Caldwell

Continuing our series on discretionary trusts and family law, in this fifth instalment, I cover the decisions of Rigby & Kingston (No. 4) and Caldwell & Caldwell. These cases look specifically at the family court's treatment of family trusts and TTs which form part of high net worth family groups established by the broader family, where control is shared amongst family members as part of an intergenerational wealth transfer strategy.
