Special Disability Trusts
The Federal Government, Centrelink and the Department of Veterans Affairs have mandated a particular form of special disability trust for the future care and accommodation needs of person with severe disabilities. Our standard Special Disability Trust Deed incorporates the terms of a model trust deed provided for the purpose which will be supplied to you upon completion of this order.
You must however satisfy yourself that the beneficiaries of this trust qualify for the concessions available to such a trust and that the trust deed complies with the requirements of the relevant department in order to obtain those concessions.
Additional Information/Special Instructions
Establishment of your Trust
Acis provides trust establishments in 3 ways:
1. Settled direct - we provide Settlor - Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. acts as the Settlor and the Trust Deed is prepared and delivered to you for execution by the Trustee. The Trust’s jurisdiction will be that in which the Trustee/s execute the Trust Deed and settlement stamp duty may (or may not) apply in that jurisdiction.
2. Settled direct - you provide Settlor - the Trust Deed is prepared and delivered to you for execution by the Settlor and Trustee. The Trust’s jurisdiction will be that in which the Trustee/s execute the Trust and settlement stamp duty may (or may not) apply in that jurisdiction.
3. Power of Attorney - Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. acts as the Settlor and Acis Nominees Pty. Ltd. will sign the Trust Deed on behalf of the Trustee under Power of Attorney. As all documents are signed in our office, the Trust’s settlement jurisdiction will be Queensland. The power of attorney is restricted to the act of signing the deed only and does not constitute a general Power of Attorney i.e. once the deed is signed, the power of attorney effectively ends. If not accompanying your order, the executed Power of Attorney MUST be returned to us for the trust to be properly established.
For convenience, a blank Power of Attorney is attached. You should note that a trustee company cannot execute a Power of Attorney prior to its registration.
Dating your Trust
When establishing your Trust, the following procedures will apply:
1. If the Trust Deed is to be settled direct using Acis Settlements Pty. Ltd. as the Settlor (and your instructions do not specify a subsequent date), the Trust Deed will be dated when it is executed by the Settlor.
2. If you provide the Settlor (and your instructions do not specify a subsequent date), the Trust Deed will be supplied undated.
3. If the Trust Deed is executed under Power of Attorney, the Trust will be dated on the day we receive the properly executed Power of Attorney from you (regardless of the date appearing on the Power of Attorney).
Executing Trust Deeds
It is vital that your Trust Deed is properly executed and the settlement sum received and deposited to a trust bank account BEFORE the trust undertakes any transactions. If the trust deed is not properly executed:
1. the trust may be improperly established, not established at all or invalid;
2. adverse taxation (particularly CGT) and stamp duties issues may arise.
