  • What is the purpose of this document?

    The purpose of this document is to formally change the appointor and/or guardian of your Family Trust. The safest way to update the appointor and/or guardian is by Deed of Change of Appointor and/or Guardian.

    This document removes the old Appointor and/or Guardian and replaces it with the new Appointor and/or Guardian.

    Check the terms of your Trust Deed to make sure you have the power to change the Appointor and/or Guardian before you start building this document. If your Trust Deed does not expressly give you the power to change the Appointor and/or Guardian or it is silent on the issue, then you will need to build Family Trust – Update to Allow Change of Appointor and Guardian first.

    Law Central recommends that you obtain legal advice before you start building this document.

      • WARNING on amending a trust deed

        Recent case law has held that should the power to amend the trust deed be not sufficiently broad, then the trustee may not be allowed to amend the deed in a particular way resulting in the amendment being invalid.

        The case of Mercanti v Mercanti [2015] WASC 297 highlights this point.

        In that case amendments to 2 trusts were considered. Each trust deed had a different variation clause. One variation clause was broader to the extent that it allowed the trustee to “vary all or any of the trusts, terms and conditions”. The other variation clause was restricted to allowing the trustee to “vary all or any of the trusts”.

        The amendments considered in that case were allowed in the trust with the broader variation clause, but not the other.

        Please seek legal advice on the important issue of whether the variation clause in your deed allows the amendment contemplated.

      Permission of Controller

      • Does the Trust Deed refer to a Controller?

        This is the person or entity named in the Trust Deed whose permission is required to allow the resignation of an existing Appointor and/or Guardian and the appointment of a new Appointor and/or Guardian to the Trust.

        This hint is provided by Law Central Legal.

      • I just built Family Trust - Update to Allow Change of Appointor and Guardian

        If you've just built Law Central's Family Trust – Update to Allow Change of Appointor and Guardian, you don't need the permission of the Controller for the Appointor and/or Guardian to resign and appoint a replacement appointor and/or guardian in their place.

      • WARNING on amending a trust deed

        Recent case law has held that should the power to amend the trust deed be not sufficiently broad, then the trustee may not be allowed to amend the deed in a particular way resulting in the amendment being invalid.

        The case of Mercanti v Mercanti [2015] WASC 297 highlights this point.

        In that case amendments to 2 trusts were considered. Each trust deed had a different variation clause. One variation clause was broader to the extent that it allowed the trustee to “vary all or any of the trusts, terms and conditions”. The other variation clause was restricted to allowing the trustee to “vary all or any of the trusts”.

        The amendments considered in that case were allowed in the trust with the broader variation clause, but not the other.

        Please seek legal advice on the important issue of whether the variation clause in your deed allows the amendment contemplated.

      • What is the purpose of this document?

        The purpose of this document is to formally change the appointor and/or guardian of your Family Trust. The safest way to update the appointor and/or guardian is by Deed of Change of Appointor and/or Guardian.

        This document removes the old appointor and/or guardian and replaces it with the new appointor and/or guardian.

        Check the terms of your Trust Deed to make sure you have the power to change the appointor and/or guardian before you start building this document. If your Trust Deed does not expressly give you the power to change the appointor and/or guardian or it is silent on the issue, then you will need to build Family Trust – Update to Allow Change of Appointor and Guardian first.

      • What do I need to complete this document?

        To start with you need to have your original Trust Deed and any other variations to the Trust Deed.

        Get out your Trust Deed and hunt down the answers to these questions:

        1. Do you need the permission of the Controller to change the Appointor and/orGuardian?
        2. What is the name of the Trust?
        3. When was the Trust signed? (What is the date of the Trust Deed?)
        4. Has the Trust Deed been amended? If so, on what dates?

        All these answers should be in your Trust Deed.

        The name of the Trust and the date it was signed are generally on the front of the Trust. If not, it may be on the last page where the signing clauses are.

        5. Do you want to change the Appointor of your Trust?
        If yes, who is the Appointor leaving and who will be the new Appointor ?

        6. Do you want to change the Guardian of your Trust?
        If yes, who is the Guardian leaving and who will be the new Guardian?

        7. What jurisdiction will apply to the Trust?

      • How do I know if the Trust has been amended before?

        Generally, you will have another document that says, Deed of Amendment or Deed of Variation to the Johnson Family Trust. You need to note all variations that have been made to the Trust Deed. If you are not sure, you may need to seek legal advice.
