A common question we get asked when a client’s self managed superannuation fund (‘SMSF’) is undertaking a limited recourse borrowing arrangements (‘LRBA’) is whether there needs to be a separate bare trustee (usually a company) for each bare trust. The short answer is no. However, it is helpful to also go through the other aspects of LRBAs to give more detailed guidance.
The number of self-managed superannuation funds with unmet financial advice needs is at record highs, and yet this is not translating to greater use of financial advice, with trustees citing difficulty in finding advisers who can meet their needs.

The tax treatment of death benefits paid from an SMSF to a deceased member’s estate can be complex.
