View Legal webinar – Being fair v being equal: Balancing adjustments in holistic estate planning (10 September 2026)

In any estate planning exercise involving more than one potential beneficiary a threshold question will be whether the focus is on achieving a distribution that is fair, or equal.

Where equality is the desired outcome there are a range of second order consequences that need to be managed.

This webinar will provide an overview of the key issues advisers must consider in guiding their customers in this area, including:

1. Exploration of the key balancing adjustment strategies, including loans, UPEs, superannuation and capital gains tax;
2. Consideration of the main legal documentation relevant, including ‘hotchpot’ clauses in wills;
3. Analysis of the various points in time that can be used as the ‘effective date’;
4. Discussion of leading cases; and
5. Practical examples.
