Order a Custody Trust
Declaration of Custody Trust (sometimes called a 'Bare Trust') for SMSF Limited Recourse Borrowing purposes.
Important information
Please be aware that banks often have different requirements regarding the terms of the deed of a Declaration of Custody Trust. Download a sample from our Resources section before you order a Custody Trust from us and check with your lender whether our deed is suitable. We are no longer able to provide any amending deeds.
The custodian (trustee) for the custody trust must be different to the trustee for the SMSF. Banks usually require companies to act as custodian of the custody trust and trustee of the SMSF, rather than individuals. Please ensure the corporate trustee, if you are using one, is registered before ordering this Custody Trust.
If the SMSF has individual trustees, your lender may require a change the trustees. You can order the company and change of trustee documents through Legal E Docs.
*Custody trusts do not require an ABN/TFN application.
