Working With Legal Professionals
Where legal advice or documentation is required, we can work alongside your solicitor or estate planning professional to help align your financial arrangements with your legal estate plan.
Bringing Your Financial & Estate Plans Together
Estate planning involves more than preparing a will. Your superannuation, insurance, investments and other financial arrangements can all play an important role in what happens to your wealth in the future. At Zenith Wealth Advisors, we can review these areas as part of your broader financial strategy and help ensure they appropriately complement your estate planning objectives.
Where legal documentation or advice is required, we can work alongside your solicitor or other qualified estate planning professional. Taking a coordinated approach can help you better understand how your different financial arrangements work together and identify areas that may need to be reviewed as your circumstances change.

Estate Planning FAQs
Do I Need Estate Planning If I Already Have A Will?
A will is an important part of estate planning, but it may not cover every financial asset or arrangement. Superannuation, beneficiary nominations, insurance and other financial considerations may require separate attention. Financial and legal professionals can work together to help ensure these different elements appropriately reflect your wishes.
Is Superannuation Included In My Estate?
Superannuation does not automatically form part of your estate in the same way as many personally owned assets. How your super death benefit is distributed can depend on your fund and beneficiary arrangements. Reviewing these arrangements alongside your estate plan can help ensure they remain appropriate for your circumstances.
When Should I Review My Estate Plan?
Estate plans should be reviewed periodically and following significant life changes. Marriage, separation, children, receiving an inheritance, starting or selling a business, retirement or significant changes in wealth may all create reasons to review your arrangements and ensure they continue to reflect your circumstances and wishes.
