### The hidden victims of our road toll

We all read about the terrible road tolls that affect our modern life.

Every day the same stark reality of yet another *death on the roads* tempts us to look away, forcing advertising agencies to use increasingly violent images to get our attention.

But today with modern technologies and advances in trauma medicine, more people now survive car accidents. The cost of surviving can be devastating to the survivor and their family in both personal and financial ways.

### The Cinderella like tale of Munro-v-Munro and how a simple preventable mistake, broke the hearts of his two daughters

To really understand this real-life story, to need to understand two simple legal facts about self-managed super funds:

- The trustee of an SMSF has discretion who to give the balance of your SMSF account to when you pass away.
- To remove this discretion and ‘bind the decision of the trustee to follow your instructions’, you need to sign a legally recognised Binding Nomination Form, making your wishes clear and override the discretion of the trustee.

Sounds simple enough, right?

### Who's your super beneficiary?

With superannuation now becoming a compulsory part of life, many people soon find they have significant amounts in their super growing at 9.5% per year - the [minimum compulsory amount](https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/Super-guarantee-contributions/) all employers are required to withhold from your income and deposit into your super account, for your retirement.

In reality, if you passed away today, the value of your super account could be significantly higher because of a ‘hidden’ life insurance component.
