About the Webinar

For those with retail superannuation interests, it is only too common for members to “set and forget” when it comes to completing their binding death benefit nomination forms. Many members fail to consider the complexities which can arise if a superannuation interest is not properly taken into account in an estate plan. Failure to properly plan for superannuation interests can result in costly consequences for the intended beneficiaries and greatly reduce the size of the estate. This session shall seek to unravel the complexities of superannuation estate planning and discuss:

  • The definition of SIS dependant versus tax dependants and who may claim against superannuation interests, and strategies for managing or limiting these
  • The exercise of trustee discretion and the payment of death benefits post death - the range of discretion, the process of finding out information from trustee and challenging their decision
  • The circumstances in which a BDBN may not be binding on a superannuation trustee and what happens when a BDBN is either not completed, invalid or not followed by the trustee
  • The lessons from recent cases
