Unitholders Agreement
A unitholders agreement can be used for unitholders to document certain matters that may not be covered in the trust’s deed or which the unitholders wish to vary (perhaps temporarily) from the trust deed.
It's a contract between the unitholders of a unit trust (and typically the trustee(s) of the trust as well) containing agreed terms as to how the trust is to be managed. In InterDocs’s Unitholders Agreement, we will take your instructions as to what it will cover.
