Step 1: Enter the name of the Trust, Jurisdiction, Name of the Settlor, Address and Settlement Sum.

Name of Trust

Must not end with the words Pty Limited. The Trust name does not have to include the word “Trust”, but usually does.

Jurisdiction

The Jurisdiction of law that is to apply is normally the State or Territory where the Trustee and other parties who sign the deed are located and where the deed is signed. You should obtain legal advice if you are unsure.

Name of Settlor and Address

The Settlor must satisfy the following conditions:

  • The Settlor is not a Beneficiary nor related to ANY Beneficiary of the Trust
  • The Settlor is 18 years of age or over and has consented to their appointment
  • The Settlor is not the Appointor
  • The Settlor is not the Trustee
