Prepare an exit plan

Your exit plan is unique to your SMSF. You will need to consider the individual circumstances of your fund and its members, as each fund will be different.

Make sure each trustee agrees with the exit plan and ensure the agreement with the exit plan is recorded. For example, by documenting the decision in meeting minutes and having the trustees sign it.

Check if there are rules in your fund’s trust deed about how to handle specific life events.
