Aged Care Advice
We look at your total picture and provide you with quality advice based on our long term experience with aged care. Our aim is threefold: to simplify the aged care financial decisions for you, to maximise government support and to minimise the effect on your estate.
Special Disability Trust
Special Disability Trusts provide a financial structure to support a family member with a severe disability. They also give you peace of mind – knowing there is a plan to meet ongoing care & accommodation requirements for your loved one.
Self Managed Superfund
Superannuation is about good investment combined with tax effectiveness. Self managed super funds allow you to maximise these benefits.
SMSF - Death Benefit
There are several factors that affect death benefits, including the SIS Act, Tax Act, trust deed of the fund itself and nomination of beneficiaries. The SMSF can pay the death benefit either to those classified as the member’s dependants under the SIS Act (bypasses member’s deceased estate) or to the member’s legal personal representative (i.e. benefit becomes part of member’s deceased estate) upon their death.
SMSF - Divorce
The event of divorce will instigate a process of dividing assets in an SMSF as super is part of the marital asset base. Australian super legislation (SIS Act), tax law and family law increase the complexity of the process and it is important to plan carefully and seek advice.
Converting SMSF to Small APRA Fund (SAF)
Converting SMSF to a Small APRA Fund (SAF) can be a complex matter and needs to be executed in a particular order and defined manner. Using an expert can alleviate mistakes that could result in penalties and unnecessary tax payments.
Winding Up an SMSF
Some circumstance may trigger a want or need to wind up an SMSF. In winding up an SMSF, the trust deed should be considered carefully and there are several implications that should be accounted for to ensure the successful completion of the process. It is important to analyse the tax outcomes of the process and create a plan to minimise tax implications.
