Appointment of trustee or director

Appointment of trustee or director

The function of this document is to appoint an individual as an additional trustee or to appoint an individual as an additional director of the corporate trustee.  It is not suitable for the purpose of appointing a company as the corporate trustee.

While the Governing Rules/trust deed of the Superannuation Fund may permit the appointment of an individual as a trustee by an instrument in writing, many third parties (such as banks and other lenders and registry operators) as well as the auditor of the Fund, may not accept an appointment of an individual as a trustee by an instrument in writing as being sufficient for their purposes. Consequently, it may be prudent to effect the appointment of an individual as a trustee by means of a deed.

For superannuation funds governed by non-SUPERCentral or non-Townsends Business & Corporate Lawyers governing rules, please review the applicable trust deed and governing rules to determine if the template is suitable for the Superannuation Fund.
