The Nine Foundations of Deceased Estates

Estate planning is widely considered ‘so hot right now’ for many advisers.

If this is true then the ‘next wave’ for advisers, particularly as the baby boomer generation enters the last phase of their life span, is probate and estate administration.

The administration of a deceased estate is a heavily regulated area and there are many aspects that can cause irreversible damage if misunderstood.

This book explores the 9 key issues that advisers need to know in relation to the administration of any deceased estate, including –

1. Assets that form part of an estate;
2. Validity of wills;
3. Estate administration;
4. Probate;
5. Estate challenges;
6. Taxation;
7. Superannuation;
8. Testamentary trusts; and
9. Post death trusts.
