- Death benefits
National Conference 2022
In many estate planning exercises, superannuation is either the second largest – or largest – asset.
As superannuation savings continue to accumulate, the number of death benefit related disputes in the self managed superannuation fund space is also increasing.
It is critical for advisers to understand the key rules. This session will explore the crucial issues in this regard, including:
- The interrelationship between attorneys, enduring attorneys, guardians, super fund trustees, executors and BDBNs;
- The ability for attorneys to make BDBNs and manage ‘fast death tax’;
- The implications of the leading court decisions in this area, and;
- Superannuation wills.
At the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Have a clear understanding on the current key issues in relation to BDBNs;
- Know how ‘cascading’ BDBNs operate;
- Know about opportunities for value adding advice, and;
- Learn about managing risk in relation to superannuation related areas of estate planning.
