About the Webinar

Death benefit nominations can be an effective way of ensuring your super is distributed in accordance with your intentions. This is especially the case if you have multiple beneficiaries (such as from previous marriages) who may have a claim on your death benefit. However, when should you use a BDBN or non-lapsing nomination, and how can you make them bullet-proof? When might they be inappropriate? This session covers:

  • Drafting of BDBNs – cascading clauses and tips to achieve certainty – what will industry funds allow you to do with cascading nominations?
  • Common reasons why BDBNs fail
  • The power of the fund trustee to distribute death benefits in the absence of binding nominations
  • Position of the trustee if there is a dispute over the validity of the BDBN
  • Reversionary pension as an alternative to the BDBN:
    • what happens upon the death of the recipient of the pension if it is a second spouse?
    • can you protect the children from the first marriage?
    • does the capital form part of the second spouse’s estate?
  • Recourse against the trustee
  • What is a non-lapsing nomination and when are they available? Do they really work?
  • What are the risks of relying on a non-lapsing nomination? Does the trustee have any discretion?
