4 Agenda An introduction to Trust Law Importance of the Trust Deed Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed The Madgwicks SMSF Trust Deed Reviewing your SMSF Trust Deed Panel session scenarios and questions from the floor How can we help?
5 An introduction to Trust Law Elements of a Trust Trustee Beneficiary Trust Property Terms of Trust (e.g. Trust Deed) These elements exist in all types of Trusts, including SMSFs.
6 Importance of Trust Deed The Trust Deed governs the rules of the SMSF SMSFs are a form of trust Like all trusts they must have a Trust Deed A trust deed is a legal document that sets out the rules and objectives The primary obligation of a Trustee is to carry out the terms of the trust
7 Importance of Trust Deed The Trust Deed governs the rules of the SMSF The Trust Deed is the source of the Trustee s powers and duties And the rights of members and beneficiaries If the Trust Deed does not allow for something, it probably cannot be done The Trust Deed forms part of the fund s governing rules Governing rules may include other documents not just Trust Deed.
8 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed The Trust Deed and the SIS Act The SIS Act requires an SMSF to comply with certain legislation Section 52B requires certain covenants to be included in the governing rules of an SMSF: to act honestly in all matters affecting the entity to exercise a degree of care, skill and diligence as an ordinary prudent person to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries to keep fund assets separate to formulate and give effect to an investment strategy to not do anything that would impede the proper performance and function of powers to manage reserves responsibly to allow beneficiaries access to certain information to do other acts as prescribed in the SIS Act.
9 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed The Trust Deed and the SIS Act The only provision required to be in the SMSF Trust Deed is s19 of the SIS Act States the governing rules of the Fund must provide the Trustee be a constitutional corporation Or the sole or primary purpose of the Fund is the provision of old-age pensions Usually in the Recitals section of the Trust Deed.
10 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed The Trust Deed and the SIS Act The SIS Act does not authorise trustee action The SIS Act and Regulations are prescriptive they tell Trustees what they should and should not do Outline penalties for breaches Also links with taxation legislation to show tax consequences of certain actions excess contributions, death benefits, etc. They permit rather than authorise What the SMSF can and can t do must be in the governing rules.
11 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed What should be in the Trust Deed? A clear establishment date A clear definition of the relevant law or superannuation law A compliance clause stipulating that the deed is to be read in conjunction with the superannuation laws that the deed is deemed to include any governing rules in order for the Fund to be a complying fund that in the case of any inconsistencies between the governing rules and the law, the relevant law is to take precedence.
12 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Dealing with members Details of how members are admitted to the Fund Ceasing to be a member death, payment of all member benefits How proceedings are conducted: Unanimous vote majority vote, etc. Members providing information to the Trustee Removal of a member.
13 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Appointment of Trustees Eligibility to become a Trustee Appointment and removal of a Trustee Incapacity of a Trustee/member appointment of Enduring Powers of Attorney Death of a Trustee/member appointment of Legal Personal Representative How Trustees are to conduct proceedings: Unanimous vote majority vote, etc.
14 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Powers of the Trustees Express power to allow the Trustee to borrow Rules for the acceptance of contributions including in-specie contributions Rules for the payment of benefits, including the nomination of reversionary beneficiaries Rules in relation to binding death benefit nominations Details of how a fund may be wound up and in what circumstances Details about how the Deed can be amended and any specific requirements of that amendment.
15 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Estate and Succession Planning The two main areas of concern are: The Binding Death Benefit Nomination Dealing with control of the SMSF on death of a member. The Trust Deed should include: The ability for the deceased member s LPR to be appointed as Trustee or Trustee Director This is allowed under the SIS Act but is not automatic
16 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Binding Death Benefit Nominations (BDBN) The Trust Deed should include: The ability for the member to make a BDBN and the obligation of the Trustee to implement it Non-lapsing BDBNs The Trust Deed does not rely too much on BDBNs being in accordance with the Act and Regulations Payment of specific assets or interests.
17 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Example Binding Death Benefit Nomination (BDBN) The SIS Act and SIS Regulations state the Fund s governing rules may allow for a BDBN (s59(1a) and Reg 6.17A(4)). But s59(1) specifically excludes SMSFs and states BDBNs lapse every 3 years. So if SMSFs want to provide a BDBN it must be expressly stated in the Fund s governing rules. It means SMSFs may provide non-lapsing BDBNs. But need to be careful of the BDBN wording in the Trust Deed.
18 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Control of the Fund and Succession Planning The Trust Deed should include: The ability for the deceased member s LPR to be appointed as Trustee or Trustee Director This is allowed under the SIS Act but is not automatic Should consider a Clause where discretion is being exercised on the death of a member This Clause should state no death benefit can be paid unless LPR is appointed as Trustee.
19 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Example Legal Personal Representative (LPR) stand in as Trustee The SIS Act states a member s LPR can stand in as Trustee (or Director of a Corporate Trustee) and the Fund will still be considered an SMSF. Fund will still comply if the member has died, is under a legal disability or has moved overseas. However just having an LPR does not mean they will automatically become Trustee of the Fund. As the ATO states in SMSFR 2010/2 the SMSF s Trust Deed must allow for the LPR s appointment.
20 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed What about a catch-all clause? Can be problematic relying on catch-all clauses. The Trustee can do anything that is not prohibited by the SIS Act and SIS Regulations. Donovan v Donovan [2009] QSC 26. The Trust Deed of the SMSF stated that the BDBN must be in form required to satisfy the Statutory Requirements. Therefore the BDBN expired every 3 years and needed to be in the form prescribed by the SIS Regulations.
21 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Donovan v Donovan [2009] QSC 26 Two years before the Member died he wrote a letter to the SMSF Trustee. The letter expressed his wish for his benefit to go to his Legal Personal Representative. The benefit was then to be distributed according to his Will. After his death the validity of the deceased s letter was challenged in Court. The deceased s second wife (the sole remaining Trustee) stated is was not a valid BDBN and therefore didn t bind the Trustee. She stated the Trustee (herself) was able to exercise discretion as to whom the deceased s benefit was to be paid.
22 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Donovan v Donovan [2009] QSC 26 The deceased s daughter from the first marriage argued the BDBN did not need to take any particular form. Therefore the deceased s death benefit should form part of his Estate. The Court held the BDBN was not in a form that bound the Trustee. The nomination needed to be in the form that satisfied the Statutory Requirements according to the Trust Deed. Therefore it needed to be in the form prescribed in Regulation 6.17A(6) of the SIS Regulations (1994).
23 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed Donovan v Donovan [2009] QSC 26 The outcome was that, whilst the Trustee was entitled to take into account the desires of the Member, it was not bound by the nomination. This was because it was not in a form that bound the Trustee as per the Statutory Requirements. Therefore the Trustee was free to exercise absolute discretion in the payment of the benefit. The deceased s wishes were ignored.
24 Overview of an SMSF Trust Deed The Trust Deed governs the rules of the SMSF Trust Deeds must be kept up-to-date. It is the Fund s governing rules that dictate what strategies a Fund can undertake. Seek advice on investment strategies, succession planning, as your SMSF is an important asset. As circumstances change, it may be time to review your Trust Deed as part of your overall SMSF strategy.
25 The Madgwicks SMSF Trust Deed Features and benefits of the Madgwicks SMSF Trust Deed include: Legal personal representatives Non lapsing binding death benefit nomination Corporate trustee company constitution Payment of death benefits Reversionary pension v Binding death benefit nomination In specie payments Transfer to new SMSF
26 Reviewing your SMSF Trust Deed When to review the Trust Deed? Key stages of an SMSF that will require the deed to be consulted (and possibly amended) include: Any structural changes to a fund, including adding a member, changing trustee or winding up the Fund Borrowing to purchase an investment When a member is considering commencing a pension When benefits are to be paid out of the Fund When considering a member s estate and succession plan.
