One of the standout features of an SMSF is the increased control members have over post-death super fund payments. When managed properly, this can yield significant benefits for your loved ones, not just in terms of tax optimization, but also for asset protection and seamless wealth transfer. While having a valid Will is commonly understood as crucial for distributing non-superannuation assets, what's less known is that your retirement savings in super, which can be substantial, aren't automatically governed by your Will. That's why it's vital to ensure you have the necessary documentation and tailored paperwork in place to achieve your desired outcomes for your super balance. Don't overlook this aspect of estate planning; take proactive steps to secure your financial legacy and provide clarity for your beneficiaries. #EstatePlanning #SMSF #Superannuation

Investing in Property Through Your SMSF: What You Need to Know Thinking about buying investment property through your SMSF? It’s a powerful way to build wealth for retirement, but it comes with rules and risks. Here’s a quick breakdown: 🔑 Benefits: Rental income taxed at just 15% (or 0% in pension phase). Long-term capital growth boosts retirement savings. 📋 Key Considerations: Must comply with the Sole Purpose Test (property used only for retirement benefits). Use a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) for loans. Ensure liquidity to cover expenses like management, repairs, and SMSF fees. ⚠️ Risks: High upfront costs (30%+ deposit and fees). Overreliance on property can reduce diversification. Non-compliance with ATO rules can lead to penalties. Buying property through SMSF can be a great strategy, but it’s not for everyone. Seek professional advice to make sure it aligns with your goals. What’s your take on SMSF property investment? Let me know below! #SMSF #PropertyInvestment #RetirementPlanning #FinancialFreedom

One way to build wealth for retirement is to invest in property through a self-managed super fund (SMSF). This strategy isn't suitable for everyone, but it can be very profitable for the right person given the leverage and tax benefits you can get from investing this way. New data from the Australian Taxation Office seems to suggest that lots of Australians have recognised the potential of SMSFs, because, at the end of the 2022-23 financial year, 24.7% of all superannuation savings and assets were held in SMSFs. Also, as the graph shows, the SMSF asset base has grown over the past five years. However, only 18.6% of SMSFs were established in the past five years; the average SMSF was actually founded 12.46 years ago. In other words, relatively few people have been opening SMSFs in recent years, which is surprising given what an incredible tool they can be. Again, investing in property through an SMSF isn't suitable for everyone. But it's something that should at least be considered, given the large potential benefits on offer. So I recommend speaking to a financial adviser about whether an SMSF would be suitable for you. #property #investing #SMSF #strategy #wealth
