Season 2 Ep. 41 Superannuation and your estate

In this week’s episode, the focus turns to superannuation and the critical role it plays in effective estate planning. Often one of the largest assets a person holds, superannuation is commonly misunderstood, particularly when it comes to what happens after death. This episode explains why super does not automatically form part of an estate, how superannuation death benefits are controlled by fund trustees, and the importance of correctly structured binding and non-binding death benefit nominations. The discussion highlights the risks of outdated or invalid nominations, common misconceptions around super and Wills, and the serious consequences that can arise when planning is overlooked. This episode provides essential insight for anyone wanting to ensure their superannuation is distributed in accordance with their wishes and their loved ones are properly protected.
