QUESTION 3[30 MARKS]
On 1 February 2022 Paul Zondo (58 years) created a trust for the benefit of his
three children (James, Chloe and Taku):
James is 16 years old unmarried.
Chloe is 20 years old and married; and
Taku is 23 years old and not a resident of the Republic since January 2020.
He only visits the Republic once a year for a few weeks.
Paul donated an office block to the trust on 28 February 2022. The trust earns
rentals from this building.
Peter (66 years old), Pauls older brother, ceded the income from his block of flats
to the trust until the trust dissolves. Peter also donated the following assets to the
trust on 28 February 2022:
An investment portfolio consisting of shares in listed companies earning
local dividends; and
A fixed deposit at a local bank earning interest.
The trust deed stipulates the following:
(1) Chloe has vested right to all the retained office rentals.
(2) The trust is to remain in existence until James attains the age of 25 years. When
this occurs, the income from the block of flats will revert back to Peter, all other
assets will be sold, and the proceeds split equally among the beneficiaries who
are still alive.
(3) Any distribution by the trustees is to be made pro rata from all sources of
income.
