CGT - deed of surrender of remainder interest

Non-binding edited private advice. This is an edited version of private advice the ATO gave to a specific taxpayer about their own circumstances. You cannot rely on it — it is not binding and provides no protection for anyone else (see PS LA 2008/4). Use it as a guide to the ATO’s thinking, not as authority.

On XX/XX/19XX, the Deceased and XXX (Spouse) purchased a property located at XXX (the Property). Upon the Spouse passing on XX/XX/20XX, title to the property transferred to the Deceased by right of survivorship. On XX/XX/20XX, the Deceased passed away leaving a Will (the Will). The Will appointed XXX (the Life Tenant), XXX and XXX as the Trustees of the Estate (the Trustees). The Will directed the Trustees to hold the Property on Trust for such of the Life Tenant's children (the Remaindermen) as shall acquire the age of 18 years and granted a life interest over the Property to the Life Tenant. On XX/XX/20XX, title to the Property was transferred to the Trustees. The Remaindermen have attained eighteen years of age. On XX/XX/20XX, the Remaindermen, the Trustees and the Life Tenant executed the Deed whereby the Remaindermen agreed to forego their benefit under the Will so that the Life Tenant received the Property absolutely. The Remaindermen did not receive any compensation for surrender of their interest under the Will.
