Ask the Expert: Tax components and super – what happens (financially) after we die?

• Question 1: If you leave your super to your estate (with specific instructions in your will as to the distribution of your super benefits), rather than nominating your adult children as your death benefit beneficiaries, do you consider it necessary to undertake the ‘re-contribution strategy’ if you have 100 per cent in the taxable component?

Good question, as this does cause some confusion.
