Our Estate Planning services include advice on
We can assist you in taking the initial steps towards estate planning, such as prioritising your objectives and collaborating with your tax and legal specialists to guarantee that your personal estate goals are achieved. We can also help you ensure that your investment plan is in sync with your estate plan. Contact our estate planning experts in Brisbane today for more information.
As part of our financial advice, we look at asset protection strategies, such as testamentary trusts. This can help shield your assets from creditors, and can allow you to more control your assets, minimise tax to beneficiaries and ensuring you are still providing for your dependents after your death.
We’ll look at ways to reduce the tax on your assets to beneficiaries. Our strategies aim to minimise tax, by distributing income and capital gains to beneficiaries in a tax-effective way.
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that appoints someone to act on your behalf. This could be for financial matters, such as paying bills and handling investments, or for health-related decisions, such as consenting to treatment or appointing a guardian.
Having a POA in place can minimise the risk of family conflict and ensure that your wishes are carried out, even if you’re unable to make them yourself. It can also provide peace of mind for loved ones, knowing that they have the authority to make decisions on your behalf if necessary.
Many people are unaware that superannuation is not dealt with by your will (though you can nominate it to). If you pass away; but don’t nominate a beneficiary, the super will be disbursed based on discretion of the trustees of the super fund which may or may not be what you intended.
Making a death benefit nomination is one of the most important things you can do for your loved ones. We will help you nominate a beneficiary, look at the tax implications of that decision and guide you what the best outcome. We can work in conjunction with your estate planning specialist to guide you on this.
