I'd like to setup a structure that will prepare my future self to take advantage of legal tax minimization and asset protection. I'd like to have this setup before I start deploying capital for long-term buy-hold shares/ETFs during this downturn.
What are the future implications to consider having it under personal name vs trust or company? I'm single, low tax bracket, and would like to have a partner and kids down the line (5-10+ years) but that's really an unknown. Also starting a business so there's a few unknowns when it comes to income from that in future and how that is currently structured.
I aim to do about 80% long-term buy/holds and the remainder with occasional "short-term" trades.
Who would be the best type of person for getting advice on this? Or is it even really worth going through this trouble in the first place?
