Lately we have been seeing many clients hitting

their milestone year – the magic 65. This is the year where they can access their Kiwisaver, receive National Super, travel on SuperGold card and even enjoy a cuppa - compliments of McDonalds. While clients are busy planning how to spend their “windfall”, it is also the year where they are one step closer to the inevitable reality of needing residential care.

While it is reassuring to know that our country has a social net for the underprivileged, it is also disheartening to hear some clients deliberating their double jeopardy experience – paying high taxes when they were young and yet not getting any residential care subsidies when they grow old (as promised). The irony in all this, is that they fail the means and income testing because they choose to save and invest for the future – theirs and their family’s future.

Putting aside the polarising topic whether the

State should look after you till death do us part, I was reminded recently of the official stance from the Ministry of Social Development. And I quote: “…where appropriate [applicants] should use the resources available to them before seeking financial assistance under this Act…” [s1A Social Security Act]

So this prompted many clients including some of their advisors to resort to setting up trusts or

other mechanisms to reduce their personal wealth (i.e. “financial resources”) with the hope that they would qualify for some sort of subsidy.

There are many genuine reasons why you should have a family trust (e.g assets protection) However, our firm generally does not recommend clients setting up trusts solely for residential care purpose because rules and case precedents change all the time. Worst of all, the Ministry could view such act as “deprivation of property and income”. [s9B Social Security Act]

So it is fitting for us to revisit the current application process for residential care

subsidies and see how having trusts may affect some of the steps involved. Note: you will not qualify for any residential care subsidy until you have passed all of the following steps.

Step 1 Self Financial Review

• Satisfy yourself that you do not have the financial resources to pay for your own care

Step 2 Needs Assessment

• A needs assessor will determine whether long term residential care is required

Step 3 Means Assessment – assets

• This is where WINZ determines whether you and your spouse’s combined assets value (e.g. cash; shares; rental property) would exceed the threshold.

But what about the loans you made to the family trust? These are assets too, particularly when your gifting program is incomplete or was only completed recently.

On the subject of gifting, did you know that WINZ sees gifting differently to lawyers and accountants? In fact, rather than recognising the usual $27,000 per individual per year (the annual gift duty threshold up until September 2011) WINZ will only recognise $30,000

(previously $25,000) over five years preceding the subsidy application instead of $135,000 (being 5 years x $27,000/year).

Such “count back” alone will increase your personal assets value by $105,000.

Step 4 Means Assessment - Income

This is where WINZ considers whether income (e.g. interest, rental income, dividends) in addition to the National Super has exceeded the allowable threshold.

Though not defined in legislation or regulations, anecdotal evidence albeit isolated cases suggest that the Ministry could consider both income and capital distributions (if paid regularly) from trusts as income. This is a clear departure from the common accounting and legal practices.

As you can see, you cannot simply set up a trust, sit back and expect the State to handover the money that you believe you’re entitled to.

It is a pertinent reminder for everyone to regularly review your trust affairs with your lawyers and accountants to ensure your objectives are met and you do not count the chickens before they are hatched…as witnessed by our recent Cup challenge.

Trusts and Residential Care Subsidies

Perfect tenants for your rental property? Maybe,

maybe not. Usually things are as they seem, but sometimes, they are not. One way that you can protect yourself is to consider a shorter term fixed tenancy. This is basically a trial for 3 months, this will give you an opportunity to confirm they are paying their rent on time and taking good care of the property. If you are happy at the end of this period, the tenancy reverts to a normal tenancy where you can either renew for a longer term fixed tenancy or revert to a periodic tenancy, this is where the tenancy provides them with three weeks (21 days) notice to terminate the tenancy, landlord six weeks (60 days), unless moving family member in then 45 days.

Some of the reasons to do this would be if they are first time renters, they are foreigner where access to referees can be difficult, or you just don’t get the right ‘gut’ feeling. The objective is to have happy tenants and a happy

landlord. When you use the trial it is easier for both parties to have an amicable parting of the ways.

There are several ways to check whether a tenant will be a good one. There are credit checks you can have done, tribunal orders to be checked, facebook can sometimes provide unexpected information, character references from associates; but past landlords are invaluable particularly the one before the current landlord. As the

current landlord could be a landlord who actually wants their tenant to move on. By and large though you will get an honest report from previous landlords. The last thing you want to hear is they are running a brothel from the property. References provided still need to be considered closely as who would give a contact name for someone who would give them a bad reference?

This is a time consuming task, but definitely a necessary part of the rental process to ensure you mitigate the possibility of a troublesome tenant. Good property managers will take care of all these details for you, so you can rest easy with your investment.

Picture perfect - not!

TheLocalstmKingsland

Here’s a charmer for you! This 1920s bungalow offers three double bedrooms in a coveted

Kingsland Street. As you enter you will notice the super wide floorboards throughout the home, which are an indication of its age and history. All three bedrooms are spacious doubles, the master bedroom has a small northfacing sunroom off it which could also be used as a little hideaway, office, or massive walk in wardrobe.

The kitchen and dining area are open plan with plenty of counter space as well as modern cabinets and fixtures. Recessed lighting above the counter will illuminate your culinary masterpieces. French doors open the kitchen to the outside and with the north facing position enables the home to soak up the sun. It’s the perfect address for an afternoon BBQ.

The lounge features a fireplace and is a cosy space. The bathroom is very stylish with a shower and tub – important for families! The laundry is also located in here, discreetly behind sliding doors. Recessed lighting over the vanity and sink as well as the colours used are very pleasing.

You also have a one car garage, which is a

rarity in this ever popular area. There is other development opportunity as well.

Kingsland Village with all the restaurants, cafes and shops is just around the corner, so leave the car at home and enjoy this enchanting area. This home will have you charmed.

Charm Factor On First14 First Avenue, Kingsland

Here is your chance to pick up a real gem of a house; first time on the market in 20 years! It is

currently configured with two generously sized bedrooms and a separate lounge. The bedrooms open onto the deck. The bathroom is modern and features a claw foot tub and shower, with floor to ceiling white tiles, making the bathroom seem larger. The wooden flooring, which is throughout the home, makes it also a warm space.

The kitchen is very serviceable with a high L-shaped counter, which is great for hiding any kitchen clutter. The sunny dining area in the adjacent room has French doors, which open out, onto a decked area - the perfect spot for upcoming summer entertaining. The lounge has exposed beams and a cast iron open fire with wooden surround, which give it a cosy feel, but the home has been fully insulated so more for effect.

There is a huge, separate 2 car garage down the driveway with access across the paved area to the rear of the house and kitchen area. The area is ‘quaint’ with a bench beside two ficus trees in the garden. The wide stairs lead to the back deck and into the lounge / kitchen area.

This property has great positioning and it on a 460m2 west facing section with a fine view of the Waitakere Ranges. It is located at the quieter end of Clarence Street, but yet so close to all that makes this area desirable to live in

with Ponsonby Road only moments away.

There are options to extend and update but is totally livable as is. There is no doubt this house would make a lovely home. Seize this opportunity to make it yours!

It’s no understatement to say this tired turn of the century treasure has seen better days - but how easy is it to see her

potential?? So well positioned on the sun soaked Kingsland avenues with a fabulous 420m2 of north facing gardens.

Plenty of original features remain intact but a fair few need rediscovering and restoring. Upgrades to the bathroom and

kitchen ensure you can comfortably move in as you start planning where to begin. The current floor plan flows well with

easy access to the back deck and gardens which soak up the sun all day. There’s plenty to keep you busy out here

too - a blank canvas awaits some green fingered inspiration and TLC. With off street parking and some basement
