Our Services-Wealth and Estate Succession Planning
A tailored wealth succession strategy helps you preserve your wealth for you to enjoy during your lifetime and/or for your chosen beneficiaries.
Succession planning means different things to different people at
various times in their lives. It depends on what you own, owe and/or
control, your objectives and your particular personal family
circumstances and values and beliefs.
A common objective is to protect and preserve wealth for your
lifetime and thereafter for your chosen beneficiaries, although some
clients wish to transfer wealth during their lifetime too.
A
strategic succession plan can facilitate the smooth, harmonious
intergenerational transfer of wealth including Wills, Enduring Power of Attorney appointments, superannuation nominations, life and other
insurance. A strategic plan can also facilitate control of related
entities such as discretionary family trusts and self-managed
superannuation Funds in cases where you are unable to act yourself.
Opez can assist the Executor of a deceased person or act as Executor
by attending to the administrative process depending on whether the
deceased died leaving a valid Will or died intestate (i.e. when there
is no Will). We can assist with establishing the Statements of Assets
and Debts at the date of death; applying for Grant of Probate;
advertising for claims; distribute the estate in accordance with the
terms of the Will and/or law; attend to all income tax and accounting
requirements and most importantly ensure regular communication to the
estate beneficiaries.
Opez can also act as the trustee of a testamentary trust established in a Will.
Opez can assist the Donee of an Enduring Power of Attorney or act as
the Donee to administer a person's finances during their lifetime when
they are unable to attend to their own financial affairs. We can also
assist with applications to the State Administrative Tribunal.
Very often a solvent company will outlive the purpose for which it was
established and shareholders want a strategy of extracting the net
company assets in lieu of their shareholding. We can provide the
pre-liquidation planning and act as the liquidator in winding up
solvent companies for the benefit of shareholders.
