We are pleased to invite you to our July webinar, "Dealing with the Death of an SMSF Member."
When an SMSF member passes away, there are both taxation and SIS compliance considerations to contemplate. Not only is the fund required to pay out the deceased's balance in a timely manner, but it is also required to maintain its complying status, which amongst other things means satisfying the definition of an SMSF under s17A of the SIS Act. There is a lot to consider for any surviving trustees and/or the deceased's legal personal representative.
In this webinar, Tim Miller from Smarter SMSF looks at all the issues a member should consider whilst they are alive as well as all the requirements a fund will face once the member has passed away. Amongst the matters to be highlighted will be compulsory cashing requirements, the various forms of nominating beneficiaries, the role of the legal personal representative as well as any additional reporting or processing obligations. The session will also highlight a number of key issues taken from a long line of legal cases that will help ensure your clients don't become one of those cases.
