Superannuation and some insurance benefits usually sit in trusts and are not automatically covered by your will, so appropriate nominations and trust structures are critical.
If you die intestate, state‑based formulas determine who receives your estate, which may differ significantly from your wishes and add cost, delay and complexity for your family. It’s why having a legal will is so important.
Newealth does not prepare legal documents but will help clarify your objectives and model financial outcomes. We coordinate with your solicitor and accountant so your legal documents reflect your financial strategy.
An estate plan may include your will, superannuation nominations, powers of attorney, enduring guardianship, advance care directives and, where appropriate, testamentary trusts.
Estate planning is the process of structuring how your assets, interests and instructions are managed if you lose capacity or pass away. It gives you peace of mind that assets are transferred efficiently and tax‑effectively to the people and causes you care about.
