Having a clear plan in place if something should happen to you can help ease the stress and anxiety for our loved ones at a difficult time.
Your super can provide you with a regular income throughout your retirement. However, your super savings (which may be a large sum of money) may outlive you.
This is where having a clear plan and nominating a beneficiary is important. A beneficiary is someone who you can nominate to receive your super savings when you die, such as your spouse or children. It’s also a good idea to understand your Aged Care options should you need help at home, require assistive equipment and technology, or need after-hospital and nursing care.
Choosing who will receive your super is important and helps your loved ones to continue with life without you.
You can nominate beneficiaries to receive your super, nominate a beneficiary to receive your pension (known as a revisionary beneficiary), or both.
Understanding how Aged Care services work before you need it can help you and your loved ones during a difficult time.
