Technical Summit 2023
When establishing and running an SMSF, we often spend a great deal of time planning for incapacity and death, and how this can be managed to protect assets. What we spend far less time planning for is what happens in the event of a Marriage Breakdown, something that unfortunately occurs in 30% of first marriages. Poorly executed divorces in SMSFs can lead to incorrect asset splits, paperwork timing issues, tax implications, structuring problems and that is without even considering the impact of transfer balance accounts and the proposed $3 million tax concerns.
This session covers common mistakes, war stories, and how we can get it right.
