Ownership structure for family home

What are some interesting considerations about ownership structure of the PPOR?

Some odd structures I've seen:

I've seen some held under a Pty Ltd - why would they do that? There are huge disadvantages... and what's not apparent is whether the Pty Ltd is a trustee or holding in its own right

I've seen some held in joint names under 1 person and a Pty Ltd - what's going on there?

Then the common ones being 1 name, or 2 names

 

Company could be acting as bare trustee. Hides ownership yet maintains main residence exemption.

 

Wouldnt you also need nominee shareholders and directors to disguise ownership?

 

Depends how far u want to go. One of my clients had a friend as director and as trustee for him to hold the shared

 

Do trusts get the CGT PPOR exemption as well as land tax exemption, or just the former?

And what about cases where there's 1 name and 1 company in joint names or tenancy in common? what are they trying to achieve there?

 

A trust can't open property. Someone else as trustee can get it potentially.

No idea on the joint ownership. Heard of accountants mistakenly thinking this saves land tax if rented out

 

Is 'open' a typo? Not sure what you mean.

 

sorry, 'own'. A trust can't own property.
