Description
Estate planning goes wrong most often when only one person in the family actually understands it.
Wills, powers of attorney, superannuation death benefits, tax: each one has its own rules, its own traps and its own timeline, and the person managing an estate is often trying to explain all of it to a partner, a sibling or an adult child who has never had to think about it before. That gap in understanding is exactly where disputes, delays and expensive mistakes tend to creep in.
Wills, Death & Taxes Made Simple is Noel Whittaker’s plain English guide to getting your affairs in order while every option is still available to you. This two book bundle means you don’t have to be the only one who’s read it. Give the second copy to your partner, your adult child, or the parent whose estate you’re helping to plan, so the whole conversation happens on equal footing.
Between you, you’ll both learn how to:
- Write a will that actually holds up, and avoid the mistakes that get wills challenged
- Set up enduring power of attorney and advance health directives correctly, before they’re needed
- Understand how superannuation is taxed on death, and how to reduce that tax for beneficiaries
- Handle the added complexity of overseas assets or beneficiaries living overseas
- Structure an estate to minimise family conflict and maximise what’s actually left behind
Your estate plan isn’t really for you. It’s for the people you leave behind, and it works far better when they understand it before they need it.
Two copies. One conversation everyone can actually follow.
