Here’s what Janet will share with you:

	Seven seemingly small and insignificant administrative tasks that if not completed correctly at the right time, can mean the difference between being protected and losing the lot! It's true.
	Three easy-to-understand requirements that if not managed correctly can put your assets at risk from creditors, the Official Assignee or WINZ.
	How Family Trusts can be used legally to help you minimise your tax obligations and put more money in your pocket.
	How this one (low-cost) step, which if overlooked, can expose you to risk without you even knowing it. Almost everyone get's this wrong.
	What you need to do to avoid your trust being deemed a SHAM and overturned. We'll explain sham trusts and the easy preventative measures you need to know about.

Presented by Jacqui Dunphy,
Director, Freedom Financial Insurance

Because this seminar is all about ‘new beginnings’, we’re also going to share some examples of how you can protect yourself without paying too much when it comes to insurances.

Jacqui’s professional background has dealt in various roles, including Corporate Sales and Account Management working in several different Industries. Jacqui believes in a holistic approach when looking at people’s lives when it comes to protecting assets & health.

Some of the information Jacqui will share with you includes:

	How to tell if you are paying too much for your insurance.
	How to get a bigger ‘bang for your insurance buck’.
	How to plug leaking holes in your household cash flow by killing any insurances you don’t actually need.
	Why over 90% of insured people in New Zealand are under insured at claim time and how you can avoid this.

There’s no hard sell, just great information.
