A Live Instructor Led Web Series

When a client dies or faces a terminal illness or incapacity issue, there is a world of issues to be worked through and resolved all at once.

Dealing with the death, terminal illness or disability of a superannuation client requires an understanding of a range of complex areas - conditions of release, taxation and insurance.

This Death, Disability & Super Outcomes Web Series is a very practical walk through of the potential scenarios and issues that arise from the medical documentation that might be required, how the conditions of release work, the form that funds be accessed, and how to deal with insurance proceeds…all the while ensuring that your client or beneficiaries receive the proceeds in the most tax efficient manner.

When these issues arise, the pressure is on to make rushed decisions based on emotion. We clearly articulate the process to assist clients through what is often the worst of times to achieve the bets possible outcome.
