Estate planning generally includes doing a will, but it can involve a lot more than that, such as considering what you own, how you own or control it and what you want to happen to it when you die.

Most funds let you nominate who you want your death benefit to be paid to, but this can only be done strictly in the accordance with the trust deed and relevant regulations. Many funds have a set form for the making of nominations.
