SMSF Legal Advice Lawyers Melbourne
SMSF Legal Advice
If you’re borrowing through your self-managed super fund (SMSF) or being asked to act as a guarantor, you’ll likely need to get independent legal advice and a solicitor’s certificate before the loan can proceed.
At Alpine Legal, we provide practical, plain-English advice so you understand exactly what you're signing — and meet the lender’s requirements without delays.
Common Scenarios We Can Assist With
You may need our help if:
Your SMSF is borrowing to purchase a property (under a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement)
You're personally guaranteeing a loan made to your SMSF, often as a trustee, member, or family member
The lender has asked you to obtain a solicitor’s certificate before funds are released
What We Offer
We provide:
Clear, independent legal advice
Solicitor’s certificates for lenders
A straightforward explanation of your responsibilities, risks and options
Why This Advice Is Important
Lenders require independent legal advice to make sure you understand what you’re agreeing to. You’ll be asked to sign a solicitor’s certificate, and so will we, confirming that advice was given and understood. This protects everyone involved and ensures the loan can proceed smoothly.
