Finding an online site that provides a package deal with all of the documents required for self managed super funds is one of the best things that can be done while setting up self managed funds. The name implies that this is done by “self”. You do not really require a financial planner to do the work for you, but I do recommend that if you have a financial planner in play, ask them for advice as there are various advantages and disadvantages to a self managed super fund.
Your financial planner is a nice addition to yourself managed funds because if you’re still new to this he or she will be able to answer any of the queries you might be having. I always love having a go-to person I can ask questions regarding my financial situation. Plus, if you have had your financial planner for a while he or she knows all about your financial history and can tell you whether this might be a good choice for you or not.
If you find a site on-line that offers the documents for self manager funds or self managed super (superannuation) funds, guarantee the package includes ALL of the documents listed below in order to set up the fund. These documents and the site you select can enable you to choose the trustee (individual or corporation) and permit you to choose different choices for the deeds as well. The package of documents should include:
– Product Disclosure Statement – in plain English! This will summarize the features of the Self Managed Funds plan.
– It ought to have consents for all of the individuals concerned as well as the trustee and the directors of the trustee.
– Applications for beneficiary, noticed and TFN notices for all of the Self Managed Super Funds.
– An ATO Trustee declaration form for any or all of the trustees.
– The actual Self Managed Super Funds trust deed.
– And lastly, an Establishment Kit (sort of like a business plan) to help you choose which steps to take next.
Also, whether you choose to go through your financial planner or use a web-based financial planning service, make sure that the documents and the self managed super funds itself are up-to-date and that the website offers lawyers for your own benefit. You’ll require quite a few pieces of information in order to purchase Self Managed Super Funds from a web based system.
Here is a small check list for your benefit. Note: This is just a small example; please verify with your local agencies to find the complete list!
– The Name Of The Self Managed Super Funds
