- Go-To Guide
- Death benefits
The SMSF Association has compiled a comprehensive Go-To Guide aimed at highlighting the key issues in SMSF estate planning including:
- Detailed summaries from recent legal cases
- Superannuation death benefits
- Fund and member control featuring LPR, EPOA and BDBNs
- Reversionary pensions
- And more…
This Go-To Guide aims to be a useful starting point in building and reviewing your SMSF clients’ estate plans.
As a complex and varied topic, it is imperative you have a solid understanding to enable you to provide appropriate advice and the wishes of SMSF members are safeguarded and appropriately implemented.
This Go-To Guide also contains a handy white label document which can assist you in communicating with your clients on reviewing their SMSF succession plans.
Note: What constitutes legal advice and who can give legal advice is beyond the scope of this Go-To Guide. As best practice, we encourage seeking advice from a specialist SMSF lawyer to ensure that documentation is appropriately drafted and executed. Non-licensed legal advice can attract severe penalties as well as open advisers to the possibility of legal liability should a dispute arise.
