In our an increasingly interconnected financial world, it's often triggered by factors outside your control. Individuals in business can find themselves caught up in a surprise sequence of falling dominoes that simple overwhelmed them and bankruptcy is the only commercial way out.
And while this is not something you expect for a family member, it's certainly something you can plan for so a surprise bankruptcy does not erode a future inheritance.
So your adult children think they automatically stand to inherit your super if you pass away? It's time to think again.
Many people think their super automatically goes to their loved ones tax-free when they pass away; but it’s not that simple.

Sleep Apnea is a condition where your breathing stops and starts while you sleep. In Australia, an estimated 5% of the population has sleep apnoea, translating into approximately 1 in 20 Australians being affected.
While sleep apnea isn't usually classed as a life-threatening condition, it’s seen as a pre-existing health condition and so requires some additional information when you're applying for life insurance or disability insurance, so the underwriter can better understand what you're living with.
