#8: I have a Will in place, so why do I need an Estate Plan?
While you may have a Will in place, without an appropriate Estate Plan you may be inadvertently leaving tax burdens or complications for your beneficiaries.
An Estate Plan includes items often not included in a Will such as superannuation funds, jointly held assets, assets held in trusts and, in some cases, business assets.
A properly drafted Estate Plan considers all your assets and entities and how these will be impacted upon your passing, including possible tax implications, asset protection requirements, and importantly a much more certain outcome for your chosen beneficiaries.
