Superannuation can be complex and the rules are always changing which is why it's important you seek advice from your financial adviser.

Personal insurance helps keep your financial plan on track against life’s mishaps. 

Insurance can provide a cost-effective method of providing personal wealth protection and can help you protect your family and yourself if you die prematurely or suffer illness, medical crisis or injury.

In the event of your death, it helps to ensure your wishes are carried out. This includes: making sure your hard-earned assets reach their intended beneficiaries; having a trusted administrator in place; and where minors are involved, nominating someone to take care of them if the worst was to happen. 

 

It should be noted that not all assets are estate assets and only estate assets are distributed according to a will.
