The control of superannuation benefits is a critical aspect of succession planning, as these benefits are not necessarily governed in a person’s will. Superannuation benefits are often one of the biggest assets of an individual at death.

Harwood Andrews Lawyers provides comprehensive advice about superannuation benefits and how these should be dealt with as part of a succession plan. This is an often complex area that requires careful evaluation and the provision of strategic advice.

We also advise clients, when the need arises, about their rights in disputing decisions made by superannuation fund trustees about the payment of death benefits. This can involve appeals to the Superannuation Appeals Board.
