ON THE BLOG l income from your trust: the rules + benefits 🚀

Trust is one of the most *vital* values between you + your accountant.

But "trust" isn't just a value - it's also a specific entity structure that enables clients to distribute income + assets in a strategic + tax-effective way.

Despite being a commonly used entity structure in Australia, many clients are often confused about:
⁉️ How trusts work;
⁉️ How income is determined + distributed; and
⁉️ If a trust is a high-risk entity from an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) + tax perspective 🔎

So, no time like the present to *trust* your accountant...

A trust is an obligation imposed on a person or other entity to hold a property for the benefit of beneficiaries, while in legal terms a trust is a relationship, not a legal entity.

Trusts are treated as taxpayer entities for the purpose of administration

In simple terms, a trust is a relationship between one entity (the trustee) who agrees to manage + control assets on behalf of others (the beneficiaries).

ON THE BLOG // can you get probate of a copy or an unsigned Will? ✏️

A Will is a legal document that sets out the distribution of your assets by electing a person or persons to receive those assets when you die.

BUT, there are *strict* legal requirements surrounding the ex*****on of a Will.

All of which must be met for a Will to easily satisfy the Court of its validity, which secures your wishes becoming a reality 🙏

To delve even further, what if you can't find an original Will?!

All the executors can find is either...

👆 A signed copy of the original Will or
✌️ An unsigned copy or draft of what they believe is the last Will?

While there are a number of hurdles to overcome in these circumstances, all hope is not lost!.

Introducing... ✨ Grant of Probate of Copy Will ✨

A Grant of Probate is a document issued by the Supreme Court confirming that the Will presented to them is the last Will of the deceased + that the estate should be distributed in accordance with that Will; they'll also be required to swear an affidavit.

The affidavit must answer the following questions👇👇

🤔 What happened to the original Will?
💁‍♂️ How was the Will originally drafted?
🔎 Where was the original Will stored prior to it going missing?
🤷‍♂️ How extensively has the executor searched for the original?
🙋‍♀️ Why does the executor think that the testator did not destroy the Will?
🙅‍♂️ Where did the executor obtain a copy of the Will?

ON THE BLOG // what's my de factor partner entitled to? 🙈

First, we need to understand what 'De Facto' means...

A De Facto relationship is a relationship where two people live together as a couple on a genuine domestic basis, however, they are not married 🙅‍♂️

The Family Law Act defines a De Facto relationship by reference to a series of criteria or relevant factors which guide the Family Court when determining whether a De Facto relationship exists or not!

Keeping up?

There's a bunch of criteria that comes with that definition, though they don't *all* need to be met...

👩‍⚖️ The nature + extent of common residence;
👩‍⚖️ Whether a sexual relationship exists;
👩‍⚖️ The degree of financial dependence or independence + any arrangements for financial support between them;
👩‍⚖️ The ownership, use + acquisition of their property;
👩‍⚖️ The degree of mutual commitment to a shared life;
👩‍⚖️ The care + support of children; anddd
👩‍⚖️ The reputations + public aspects of the relationship!

In summary, the parties must essentially be sharing a life together + be living together on a genuine domestic basis.

A couple who are merely dating are *not* considered to be in a De Facto relationship!

WHAT DO I DO // if I'm unhappy with me NDIS Plan? 🙅

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

We all have to make them at some point + we don’t always get it right!

The NDIA is *no* exception.

Sometimes their NDIS Plan support + funding decisions are spot on, other times not so much 🙈

If you are happy with the outcome of your NDIS Plan review + satisfied with the funding in your NDIS Plan – that’s great!

If on the other hand, you have received your NDIS Plan, you do not have to sit back + accept the NDIS Plan as presented.

There are processes and options available to you 🤝 NDIS Plans are meant to be created on the basis of reasonable + necessary supports that...

🌈 Are in context to your disability;
🌈 Help you to work towards your NDIS Goals as noted in your NDIS Plan;
🌈 Help you undertake activities that will increase your social + economic contribution;
🌈 Will be value for money;
🌈 Will be likely to be effective + beneficial for having regard to good practice + evidence;
🌈 Compliment your informal + community; anddd
🌈 Do not duplicate supports provided by other agencies or systems!

But if this isn't met (+ sometimes it's not) you can request an internal review.

In NDIS land, this is referred to as a Review of Reviewable Decision, or RoRD for short.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST // of your core supports 🍎

Core, by definition, is the central or most important part of something.

This is also true of NDIS core supports.

Core supports are based around supporting NDIS Participants with their everyday life + activities at home +/or in the community.

NDIS core supports are grouped into four sub-categories 👇

🤝 Assistance with Daily Life
🗣️ Assistance with Social Community + Economic Participation
🍔 Consumables
🚌 Transport

Within each core sub-category are layers of core support types, many of which are broken down into the manner of support, when it applies + who can deliver it.
