    I am sure @GoldCoastBound accountant would know to do that, especially the bucket company if they cannot distribute to adult kids.

    We were given wrong advice.

    We have a number of LLCs in US, one was set up and owned by our SMSF to purchase properties in US

    Accountant/FP expert in SMSF in OZ got it wrong, turns out he knew very little about US tax laws which are complex. Came highly recommended.

    The structure he recommended caused huge tax implications in Oz.

    This person/company still operates as a US tax/SMSF expert in Oz:mad:

    We had to unravel the mess.
