Deed of Variation of Special Disability Trust deed – Duration of Trust

About this resource

To assist you in updating your existing Special Disability Trust’s deed, a Deed of Variation of Model Trust Deed for Duration of Trust has been created. This variation includes a clause that will extend the duration of a Special Disability Trust beyond the date of the death of the Principal Beneficiary to give adequate time to allow trustees of a Special Disability a grace period to wind up the trust. The variation needs to be signed and attached to your Special Disability Trust’s deed and lodged with Services Australia. There is no requirement to make this change.
