Estate Planning can sometimes be uncomfortable to think about, but it is important for everyone to make their wishes clear regarding what will happen when they pass away, or should something unexpected happen.
Investing in Estate Planning can ensure that your assets are distributed in the way you intend after your death and your wishes are followed should you be unable to manage your personal or financial affairs.
Some of the ways you can make your wishes clear include by:
- Ensuring you have a valid and current Will
- Creating and keeping a death benefit nomination current in your Superannuation Fund
- Appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney
- Creating an Advanced Health Directive
