Our dedicated Gold Coast estate planners will work closely with you to understand your goals, family dynamics, and financial situation, ensuring that every aspect of your estate plan is carefully tailored to your specific needs.

You deserve the reassurance that the effort you’ve put into planning your financial future will be safeguarded for your loved ones. Estate planning encompasses more than just financial concerns—it is about ensuring a smooth and tax-efficient transfer of your estate to your intended beneficiaries. The structure of your Estate Plan can significantly impact the taxes your beneficiaries will face and the timing and conditions of distributions.

Developing a tax-effective estate plan requires thoroughly analysing your current financial, family, and professional circumstances. A well-crafted estate plan comprises tailored products and services to meet your unique needs and circumstances.

Our Gold Coast estate planners can help you:

  • Set up the right financial structure to manage your affairs
  • Help you identify all potential beneficiaries
  • Explore the most tax-effective strategy to distribute your assets
  • Recommend and implement life insurance to suit your needs
  • Make sure your wishes are reflected and implemented
  • Help write a will and enlist an enduring power of attorney

An estate plan often includes reviewing or establishing a will, appointing an enduring power of attorney, selecting an executor, establishing guardianship, considering a family trust, designating beneficiaries for superannuation and insurance, and securing adequate life insurance coverage.

  • Will: Strategically plan the management and distribution of your estate after your passing.
  • Enduring Power of Attorney: Appoint a trusted individual to act on your behalf and make crucial decisions regarding your affairs.
  • Superannuation: Nominate beneficiaries to receive your superannuation balance and safeguard your retirement savings.
  • Life Insurance: Safeguard your family’s financial future by securing sufficient life coverage.

Ensure your estate plan reflects your intentions and protects your loved ones for future generations. Contact Centaur Financial Services today for comprehensive estate planning assistance tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Planning

Not everyone invests in an estate plan, but if you have any wealth, there are more than a few reasons why you should.

Our Gold Coast estate planning advisors can help you with the following:

  • Protect beneficiaries
  • Protect children
  • Protect family wealth
  • Plan for incapacity
  • Minimise transfer taxes
  • Eliminates family squabbling
  • Disperse wealth to your wishes
  • Choose guardians for children
  • Provide significant tax advantages
  • Ensure inheritance isn’t misspent
  • Choose executors/trustees for your estate
  • Ensure your business continues smoothly

A good estate plan should include a will or a trust, enduring power of attorney, beneficiary nominations, guardianship nominations (if applicable), life insurance, and a letter of intent for your estate executor or a beneficiary.

Many think estate planning is something to worry about in your older years. But the truth is, it’s never too early to start estate planning. No one knows when their time is up. No one knows when the expected will happen. We only have to look at 2020 to see that nothing in life is certain – you could be struck by a car tomorrow. Therefore, starting an estate plan as soon as possible is best, especially if you have wealth or a family.

Contact Centaur Financial Services to start planning your estate today.

As our lives change, so do our estate planning needs. In our younger years, a power of attorney may be the most important element to consider. As we age and have a home and family, wills and trusts become more critical. As we accumulate wealth in our 40s, attention moves to asset distribution, life insurance, and reviewing your will and power of attorney. Later in life, as we pass 50, it’s vital to ensure everything is in place and aligned with your current wishes.

Just like a will, as your life changes, your estate plan needs to be reviewed to ensure all your wishes are met. Contact Centaur Financial Services to update your estate plan today.

To prepare for an estate planning meeting with Centaur Financial Services, you must gather relevant financial documents and supply personal information.

Such information includes:

  • A list of assets and significant liabilities and their estimated values
  • A list of beneficiaries, along with their exact names and addresses
  • All life insurance policies
  • Who do you want to appoint as legal guardians for your children
  • Who would you choose executors/trustees for your estate
  • Who do you want to appoint as your power of attorney
  • The age at you want your children to receive their inheritance outright
  • How do you want your estate to be distributed to

There is a big difference between a will and estate planning. A will is just one component of an estate plan. Estate planning comprises reviewing or creating a will, along with other important components, which include appointing a power of attorney, investing in life insurance, appointing legal guardians for children, appointing an estate executor/trustee, and electing superannuation beneficiaries.
