This legally structured trust deed allows you to register a car, van, ute, bike, or trailer in your name as trustee, meaning the vehicle is no longer part of your personal estate or available to creditors. You maintain full use and control, but the legal ownership belongs to the trust — not you.

Perfect for:

Keeping a vehicle out of your personal name

Protecting an asset from legal or financial threats

Sharing vehicle use with family while retaining control

Planning for future succession without going through probate

What’s Included:

No registration or ABN required.

Just take the signed deed to Main Roads (or your state’s transport office) to update the registration under the trustee's name.

Use This For:

Cars, vans, utes, trailers, motorbikes, or boats

Discretionary use by family members

Staying legally compliant while protecting what you drive

Protect your vehicle the smart way — with structure, clarity, and peace of mind.

“It’s still your vehicle. But it’s no longer your liability.”

Important:

This trust only works if you fully own your vehicle — that means no car loan, no lease, no repayments owing.

If your car is financed, it's legally owned by the bank or finance company until it's paid off in full.

You can’t put something into a trust that you don’t fully control.

If your name is on the registration but a bank holds the title — it's not truly yours yet. Once it is, this trust gives you full protection.
