Hi All,

As you are aware, it is all context dependant to you; your particular situation, goals, relationship situation, capital involved, tax etc. This is why most people will advise you to pay money to a trusted lawyer and tax agent for them to help you, remember you have to spend money to make money.

Basic information on the differences you can google for yourself - this may help you understand your personal context and inform/change your goals etc. During this research, you can also keep a list of questions for the lawyer and tax agent. This ensures you get your money's worth from them, and sets you up to know whether they are forcing a different idea on you or listening to your proposal and assisting your goals.

I think you may be better off offering up a 'de-indentifed context' and seeing if there are similiar individual examples or case studies from members.
