Superannuation Death Benefit Disputes

Superannuation is a relatively new product and it is only more recently that we are seeing people passing away with large sums of superannuation. We are also seeing that often this is the only asset of the deceased.

This particular area of law is often misunderstood. It is also one of the most complex areas of dispute. It is important that you get legal advice in relation to a superannuation dispute as soon as possible as there are very strict time limits in relation to making a claim and filing evidence.

The framework around what the Trustees of a superannuation fund will take into consideration is also very specific and getting the right advice from the beginning will avoid disappointment in the future.
