Self Managed Super - Pension Pack - Allocated Pension and Market-linked Pension
New DIY Superannuation Resource at www.onlinelegal.com.au
Are you ready to receive a pension from your SMSF? With Cleardocs’ Pension Pack you can create all the documents you need to set it up.
Suitable for your SMSF?
The Cleardocs pension pack has been designed to suit the Cleardocs SMSF deed. However, if your SMSF is a non-Cleardocs deed, then you can update to the Cleardocs deed online.
Types of pension
You can choose either of the following:
- an allocated pension (or transition to retirement allocated pension)
- a market-linked pension (or transition to retirement market-linked pension)
But you do need to get legal, accounting and financial advice about which type of pension to choose from your usual advisors.
Once you have selected, the whole process takes about 5-10 minutes. Then once you’ve answered the questions on the Cleardocs system, we email you the documents within a few minutes. Go
The document package includes:
- Application form - from fund member to fund trustees
- Minutes of the fund trustees agreeing to pay the pension
- Product disclosure statement - a statutory requirement
- Pension payment agreement - which contains the rules under which the pension will be paid, and
- Establishment Kit, prepared by our lawyers at Maddocks, with full instructions as to how to complete everything.
All documents are signed-off by Maddocks lawyers.
Background to the Cleardocs Pension Pack
When you become entitled to be paid a lump sum benefit, the trustee may allow you to choose to receive that lump sum in the form of regularly paid income - this is called a pension. If you are to be paid a pension, then you may choose the type of pension, including either:
- an allocated pension (or transition to retirement allocated pension)
- a market-linked pension (or transition to retirement market-linked pension)
Different types of pensions operate differently and will impact on you differently. You should discuss the right type of pension for you in detail with your adviser before you select the pension you would like to receive.
Features of the Cleardocs Pension Pack
Once you become entitled to be paid a lump sum benefit, the Cleardocs Pension Pack provides a set of documents that give you all you need to turn your SMSF into an income stream. The Pension Payment Agreement allows you to:
- choose what type of pension you receive
- choose when and how you receive the pension and change that at a later date
- choose when you receive pension information from the trustee
- “commute” the pension in certain circumstances - that is, change it so that you receive a lump sum, and
- nominate a reversionary beneficiary to receive the pension after you die
The documents are written in easy-to-understand Plain English and signed-off by Maddocks lawyers.
