Peace of mind that your hard-earned wealth will pass to the next generation in line with your wishes in a tax effective manner

The goal of retirement and estate planning is to ensure that your loved ones will benefit from your bequests in line with your wishes, and in a tax effective manner.

As part of your succession planning, we will take into account the structures within your group that hold your assets, and ensure that there are mechanisms in place for these assets to transition to the next generation in a tax effective manner.

We will work in conjunction with your lawyer to ensure that your estate planning takes into account the above structures, as well as planning for tax effective asset and wealth transition.

We will help you to plan for retirement including considering future after tax income streams, cash flow planning, business exit and asset divestment.

Frequently asked questions

No, trust assets are not dealt with under your Will, and it is important to manage the control of your trust though the Appointorship succession. You can also leave a Statement of Wishes which is designed to guide the administrator of your estate, but is not binding.

A Super does not initially form part of your estate but can be directed there, or otherwise paid directly to your chosen beneficiaries via a death benefit nomination.

A good method of ensuring your chosen beneficiaries’ wealth is protected is via establishing a testamentary trust. This ensures that their entitlement is not held personally as risk, and it also has other tax benefits.
