Estate planning is one of the most important personal legal matters any of us will attend to in our lives.

Planning your estate is more than just having an up-to-date will in place. It means directing your assets to your chosen beneficiaries in the most tax-effective and efficient manner. Estate planning puts you in control of how your wealth is distributed and gives you the opportunity to nominate the people in your life you trust to look after your interests should you suffer impaired capacity. 

Having an estate plan in place ensures your wishes are clearly set out to those around you. A will is one tool in the estate planning kit, and while it's an important document, it isn't the only one required for effective estate planning.

What is Estate Planning & Why is it So Important?

Estate planning is the process of preparing and documenting a strategy for the transfer of your personal assets, including property and superannuation, in the event of your death. It also determines who manages your wealth should you suffer impaired capacity. While most people think of estate planning as preparing a will, a comprehensive estate plan involves considerably more. A carefully considered plan also allows you to:

• Plan for the distribution of your superannuation and any life insurance proceeds
• Appoint a power of attorney to act on your behalf should you suffer impaired capacity or become unable to make decisions for yourself
• Protect vulnerable or minor beneficiaries
• Preserve your assets and distribute them in a tax-effective manner using a trust or company structure.

Estate planning means having a plan in place to ensure your assets go to the right people, at the right time, and in a tax-efficient manner.
