What circumstances could make my estate complex?

There are many circumstances that can make your estate plan and Will complex and these can include:

• Second or more marriages/relationships and children from each relationship;
• Divorce;
• The interplay between Family Law and Estates;
• The interplay between Family Trusts, Self-Managed Superannuation Funds and Corporations and Estates;
• Not including ‘provision’ for those who may be entitled by law to provision;
• When a person who would otherwise be entitled to a provision in the estates, but has acted in a way that ‘disentitles them’ to provision;
• Complex gifts;
• Forgiveness of debts;
• Disabled beneficiaries; and
• Minor beneficiaries.
