  • Can Non Reg Trust be Life insurance policy beneficiary ?

    Posted by Michelle-L on September 25, 2022 at 5:12 pm

    Instead of naming offspring as beneficiary on a life insurance policy, is it better to name the Non Reg Trust as the beneficiary of the life insurance policy (as the offspring is already a beneficiary of the NR Trust). Would this be a better way to do it? I know we don’t pay estate tax in Aust, but just wondered if doing this would ensure no tax or pirating on the payout to the offspring? Has anyone done it this way?

    And wondering also about Super death benefit – same thing, can the NR Trust be named as the beneficiary of super fund?
