Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Testamentary Trust Will?

    A Testamentary Trust Will is a smart and effective estate planning tool for managing the future of your hard-earned wealth. Properly drafted, it protects assets and reduces unnecessary tax.


    A Testamentary Trust Will establishes a discretionary trust for each of your beneficiaries. It only comes into existence on your death, and enables your assets to be transferred for the overall benefit of each of your beneficiaries.


    Usually, a Testamentary Trust Will establishes a beneficiary-controlled trust (i.e. the beneficiary is in complete control of their trust / inheritance). This can be tailored to suit your personal circumstances (and your beneficiaries) and can include Protected Trusts, Staggered Release Trusts, Superannuation Death Benefits Trusts and Special Disability Trusts.
