Superannuation and life insurance are often one of the most valuable assets forming part of a deceased person’s estate.
To the surprise of many, these assets commonly pass to beneficiaries outside of the Will, particularly in circumstances where a will challenge has been anticipated.
Depending on the steps taken by the deceased when they were alive, the superannuation and life insurance may either be distributed per a binding nomination, reversionary pension, or at the discretion of the trustee of the fund. Any of which can provide harsh results, particularly in blended family situations.
