Custodian trust set up pack (related lender) for real property
(corporate trustee)
PLEASE CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING
- I want to set up a custodian trustee (limited recourse borrowing arrangement) for the fund to purchase real property.
- This is for an existing Australian SMSF fund which has a corporate trustee.
- The fund will be purchasing the property using money lent to it by a private (non-commercial) lender, for example a member of the fund.
- A contract for purchase of the property has not yet been entered into.
- The property is currently owned by someone completely independent of the fund or its members.
- I have looked at the deed of my SMSF and confirm that the fund is able to:-
- borrow
- purchase real property
- lease and let property, and
- give security by mortgage or charge (if the lender is to take security)
