How many beneficiaries will the Trust have when established?

Can't be blank
A BENEFICIARY is the individual or group of individuals for whom a trust is created. The trust creator or grantor designates beneficiaries and a trustee, who has a fiduciary duty to manage trust assets in the best interests of beneficiaries as outlined in the trust agreement.

Beneficiary is entitled to receive net income/capital of the trust. Selection is important. If the Trust ever changes trustees at a time when the Trust has selected types of assets (e.g real estate/land) that are primarily situated in New South Wales or the ACT (ONLY). If the Trust does alter/change trustees and at that time the Trust Deed does not exclude the trustee from being a beneficiary, then stamp duty may apply on the transfer of those assets to the new trustee. (Other states do not have this stamp duty levy rely on change of trustees)
