Most practitioners will have a client couple who go through a separation and associated property settlement at some time. Even when the separation is amicable, there are numerous aspects of family law payments splits that pose particular challenges for SMSFs. Where the separation is not amicable, even more complex issues can arise.
This is a practically focused session looking at different kinds of difficulties for SMSFs in dealing with family law splits. Through a series of actual war stories and case studies we will highlight some of the pitfalls that can arise and offer tips for avoiding and/or resolving them.
At the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Identify common mistakes made when dealing with family law splits in SMSFs;
- Understand how practitioners can assist clients with developing a smooth family law split process, and;
- Consider alternative courses of action for when things don’t go to plan.
