Cover of Andrew Simpson: You Can't Take It With You (ePUB)
We all face an inescapable truth: whether we like it or not, we
will one day die — and we can’t take anything with us when we
do. Many Australians spend a great deal of their lives actively
creating wealth, but pay little attention to how to distribute that
wealth after death. Andrew Simpson’s You Can’t Take it With
You is a practical and informative guide to estate planning.
Inside you will discover how to:



* understand and distribute your assets

* plan your will and protect it from challenges

* use trusts to safeguard your assets

* minimise the tax liabilities on your future beneficiaries

* plan your personal and financial affairs for retirement.

With helpful case studies that highlight key points in each
chapter, You Can’t Take it With You makes the
estate-planning process easy. This book is your first step to
ensuring peace of mind for you and those you leave behind.
