Good estate planning gives you peace of mind. It helps avoid confusion, delays, and disputes at a time when your family needs certainty and support. Estate planning and financial advisors go hand in hand. While only lawyers can provide legal advice or draft Wills, our financial advisors help you make the right financial decisions that support your legal arrangements, such as superannuation nominations, investment planning, and setting up appropriate structures for your assets. Even something as straightforward as a superannuation death nomination can have a major impact on how your money is distributed, and many people do not realise that, without this in place, the trustee of your fund decides who gets your super. With our help, you can:

Estate planning is the process by which you organise your financial affairs so that upon your passing your assets are distributed in the manner in accordance with your wishes. For most people, it can be made quite simple with the assistance of a financial planner or financial adviser.
If you have not completed the legally recognised forms, then your wishes as to how your assets are to be distributed, may not be implemented. If you have not completed any forms or documentation about your wishes as to how your assets are to be distributed, then your wishes may be unknown. This can be a source of dispute.
Usually, a court will need to decide how your assets are distributed. It makes it difficult for the court and your surviving family, and may be a source of litigation and/or disputation.
An executor is appointed by you, via your Will and their role is to implement your instructions as to how your assets are to be distributed upon your passing.
There is no complete way to protect your estate from being contested, and the answer will depend on the circumstances. However, having the right documentation in place such as a valid Will and death nomination (for your super), is a good start. Sometimes it is useful to discuss your Will and death nomination, or their contents with your family so that they understand your decisions and there are no surprises. However, this depends on your family and their personalities.
You need a reliable and honest person who is generally younger than you. The person needs to be responsible and preferably respected and trusted by your beneficiaries.
