Estate Planning
Estate planning is anticipating that you're not going to be around forever, and taking steps to ensure that your property and possessions are distributed among your family and loved ones, rather than defaulting to the State.
It’s something few of us want to think about, but it’s something we all need to do. Getting your estate affairs in order can provide great peace of mind to both you and your family.
Purpose of effective estate planning
If you're a small business owner, estate planning may form part of your business succession strategy.
An effective will can counter against the consequences of dying 'intestate', and ensure you manage the tax implications for beneficiaries. It will also mean ensuring the person of your choice receives your superannuation under the binding nomination with your super fund (subject to SIS Act 1993).
Most importantly, you want to review your estate plan when things change to ensure a tax effective solution for your beneficiaries, and so you have a definite say in what happens.
