Question 1

What Trustee should be used?

Accepted Answer

Where a commercial LRBA is being used then the Lender will generally seek a company to act as the Trustee of the Holding Trust. For a related party LRBA this is not required.

Question 2

What happens at the end of the borrowing arrangement?

Accepted Answer

A limited recourse borrowing arrangement may be ended either by: (a) the self-managed superannuation fund paying off the loan and then collapsing the custodian trust by having the legal title to the asset transferred into its name; or (b) the custodian selling the asset and then using the sale proceeds to pay out the loan - this would occur where the self-managed superannuation fund is in default of its loan obligations. Different tax consequences arise depending on how a limited recourse borrowing arrangement is ended. Please contact us at support@lightyeardocs.com.au should you require assistance.

Question 4

Is this document a legal document?

Accepted Answer

All master documents have been signed off by LY Legal lawyers. Tony Anamourlis of LY Legal advises that “at no time, due to inbuilt legal protection and security measures can a user change or amend a document on the LYD platform that has been signed off by a practicing solicitor. To do so would result in the user drafting a document of a legal nature and engaging in the provision of legal services. In addition, it would be a breach of copyright. In our opinion when completing the form fields through the LYD platform, users and their employees are merely carrying out an administrative task which is not the provision of legal advice.”

However in some complex areas such as the insertion of a varied range of client instructions into a Will or other such documents the user must be mindful of the extent to which a document is being drafted by the user rather than merely the administrative task of completing a form where the relevant fields are inserted into the reviewed and signed legal document provided by LY Legal.

The above advice is born out of numerous cases dating back to Re Sanderson, Ex parte Law Institute of Victoria [1927] VLR 394, 397 where the Court held:

“if a person does a thing usually done by a solicitor, and does it in such a way as to lead to the reasonable inference that he is a solicitor – if he combines professing to be a solicitor with action usually taken by a solicitor – I think he then does act as a solicitor.”

Likewise in ACCC v Murray (2002) 121 FCR 428, 448 where Murray was building a franchise business that involved the legal writing and drafting of Wills from scratch based on the client’s personal circumstances. The Court held that this process was legal work.
