ACC Australia webinar
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaA proper estate plan involves more than simply having a valid Will in place. There are often other critical matters that a Will cannot address, such as superannuation and incapacity.
This webinar will explore superannuation and powers of attorney from an estate planning perspective, as well as review several cases that demonstrate what can happen when these matters are not properly considered.
