Bare Trust Setup Form

Timing for Signing the Bare Trust Deed After the SMSF Has Been Created

Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) / Bare Trust Details
(Information Collection Only – No Financial Advice)

If your SMSF intends to purchase property using a loan, Australian law (SIS Act s67A) generally requires the property to be held in a Bare Trust (also known as a Holding Trust) under a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA).

The questions below are solely to collect the information required to prepare documents and coordinate the setup where instructed. This is not financial, legal, or investment advice.

Important Disclosure – Please Read Carefully

Clear Tax does not provide financial product advice and does not assess whether an LRBA or property investment is suitable for you.

By completing this section, you acknowledge that:

You have already decided (or will decide independently) to purchase property via your SMSF.
You understand that borrowing through an SMSF carries significant risks and compliance obligations.
You should seek advice from a licensed financial adviser, mortgage broker, or legal adviser before proceeding.

Clear Tax’s role is limited to execution-only establishment, compliance, and administrative setup, based solely on the information you provide. Clear Tax does not assess the suitability of any SMSF structure, borrowing arrangement, or investment.
