You’ve been successful in business and life, and have amassed a material amount of wealth. You have worked hard to provide financial security for your family, both during your lifetime and long after you have died.
You have a basic ‘plan’ for who you would like to benefit with your wealth, both before and after your death. However, you realise your affairs are complex and you know you haven’t invested enough thought in putting in place a comprehensive estate plan. You know some of the things you want to achieve with your estate are not straightforward, and you aren’t sure where to start.
Given the complexity of your affairs, including the legal structures through which you hold your business and investment wealth, if you died tomorrow you would be leaving a mess. Chances are not all of your assets will end up where you intend. Furthermore, your loved ones will be exposed to unnecessary stress and uncertainty, as they deal with Government interference, potential claims from outsiders and avoidable tax liabilities.
You want to look after your partner and then pass on your wealth to the next generation according to your own choices and values.
If you die without a comprehensive estate plan in place, your assets will be dealt with according to the Government’s arbitrary rules. Chances are some of your assets will end up in the hands of people you do not intend to benefit.
Without properly appointing someone to administer your estate, your heirs will need to apply to the Government for the right to step in. If more than one person wishes to control your assets, a costly argument may ensue.
If you have more complex affairs, involving family trusts, self-managed super, life insurance and business interests, then the chances of losing control of this wealth, or expensive fights breaking out, are inevitable.
We will help you understand your options and put in place comprehensive and robust estate planning documents.
We will assist you in ensuring that your assets end up where you intend.
We will also help you avoid unwanted interference by Government officials, and reduce the chances of an expensive challenge to disrupt your plans.
