Consider the following in your exit plan:
- members’ instructions to deal with their benefits upon their death, including the validity of binding death benefit nominations
- appointing an enduring power of attorney
- the estimated costs of winding up – set aside this amount from the available pool of rollover funds
- the liquidity of the fund’s assets for
- making rollovers
- paying benefits
- final costs
- whether you have a rollover capable electronic service address (ESA) as they are processed electronically
- whether all trustees have access to the fund’s records and electronic transaction accounts. Confirm:
- who will keep the fund’s records once wound up, and
- whether there is a backup.
Keep your exit plan with the fund’s records and make sure it’s easy to access for all trustees.
