Did you know the Test Individual (TI) is the cornerstone of every Family Trust? Everything revolves around this key figure, from making a Family Trust Election (FTE) to claiming tax benefits and managing distributions. The TI defines the Family, Group, and Family Group, shaping who’s in and who’s out. This impacts tax obligations, franking credits, and much more.

Choosing the right TI is a game-changer for your trust’s structure and compliance. Make informed choices to avoid costly surprises!
