OUR EXPERTISE

Superannuation

Superannuation may form a significant component of your wealth, particularly if your insurance benefits are added.

Therefore, a vital part of the Estate Planning process is to consider how your superannuation death benefit will be treated on your death.

FAQ’S ABOUT SUPERANNUATION

  • Superannuation death benefits are generally excluded from your estate unless you have nominated that the trustee of the superannuation fund distributes the benefits to your estate on your death. Therefore, a properly executed superannuation death benefit nomination can offer peace of mind. If you do not make a superannuation death benefit nomination then the trustee of the superannuation fund may have the discretion how your superannuation death benefit will be distributed.

  • If permitted under the trust deed of the superannuation fund, you may make a death benefit nomination as to who will receive your superannuation death benefit upon your death. If validly prepared, your superannuation death benefit nomination will indicate to the trustee of the superannuation fund how to pay your superannuation death benefit.
