Binding death benefit nominations – don’t let your super go to the wrong person

About this Episode

Your superannuation could be one of your largest assets - but it doesn't automatically pass under your will. A binding death benefit nomination is what directs your super to the people you choose. Without a valid one, the fund's trustee decides who receives it, and that may not match your wishes.

In this conversation:

    • What a binding death benefit nomination is
    • The requirements for it to be validly made – miss one and it can be invalid
    • How these nominations can expire, and when they need renewing
    • What happens when a nomination lapses
    • How the fund’s trustee then decides who receives your super
