Superannuation is a critical component of financial planning in Australia, yet its treatment upon a person’s death is often misunderstood. Unlike other assets, superannuation death benefits do not automatically form part of a deceased person’s estate. This distinction is frequently overlooked and can lead to confusion, unintended outcomes and sometimes disputes between beneficiaries.
