Following today’s article “death benefit misconceptions” by Tony Negline, can I just clarify that if the SMSF is under a corporate trustee with 2 members, when one dies, can the fund just carry on without having to worry about paying out the death benefit?

A: No – the death benefit must be paid as a pension and/or a maximum of two lumps sums.
