X-Message-Number: 10852 From: "Thomas Nord" <> Subject: Trusts Date: Sun, 29 Nov 1998 20:44:16 +0100 Due to a private mail: A trust here called Stiftelse are not any private matter, the money are given away to a juridical person, it has a purpose limited in time or not. If the purpose in the rules are to follow a matter until the year 2000 it should end then, if its to measure the sunshine as long a possible the trust will end when the sun stops shining. If the purpose among other things are to pay for any contract by the trust for Cryonics research, preservation, reanimation and social rehabilitation of the research-object in the contract, the trust will end when its fulfilled, or will be dissolved if it cant be done and the trust doesn't have any alternative purpose. It is meant for good-doers giving away money for research, the poor, education and other matters which are tax-free or not for the dividends of the trust. Cryonics are very close to a familytrust and may be taxed as usual here. I think many other countries has similar laws, thats the spirit of a trust as we see it here. The mega billionaires i.e. Wallenbergs like to have their names to live forever, therefore their money in such a trust as gives away for good doing. Since these are private matters also, you can E-mail me private, if I have time a will answer each or together or on the Net with no names. For taxreasons other places may be much better than Sweden. Trust in god or have trust in the trust? Sincerely Thomas Nord Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10852
