Beneficiary nominations at ESSSuper

Published: 15 May 2024

It can be tough to think about, but it's important to understand what can happen to our super when we die.

Because of the way super legislation works, even if you have a will, your super may be distributed in ways you didn't plan for in the event of your death.

It's much better for everyone if you make clear what your plans are in the event that something happens to you. Nominating beneficiaries is a formal way of telling your super fund how your benefits should be distributed, and there are some complexities involved in the process.

In this Exploring Super podcast, we talk to Member Education Consultant Matt Cervetto about what you can do to help make sure your loved ones are supported.
