Corporate trustees are fully supported! Here's how to set it up:

Step 1: Create the Trustee Company

First, add the company that acts as trustee:

  1. Go to CompaniesAdd Company
  2. Enter the company details (e.g., "Smith Family Trustee Pty Ltd")
  3. Save the company

Step 2: Link as Trustee

  1. Go to the Trust detail page
  2. In the Trustee section, click Add Trustee
  3. Select Company as the entity type
  4. Choose your trustee company
  5. Save

On the Diagram

The diagram will show:

  • The trust connected to the trustee company with a "trustee" line
  • The company's directors/shareholders connected to it
  • This creates a complete picture of control

Tip: Don't forget to add the directors of the trustee company to show who actually controls the trust!
