What happens when I die? Season 2, Episode 3
In one of the most anticipated episodes of the series, host Anna Hacker, principal of Australian Unity Trustees Legal Services, discusses with barrister Simon Fuller what happens to your kids when you die.
The idea of “estate planning” does seem to focus on the financial side of wills, but for most clients with children, their number one question is “What happens to my kids when I die?”.
This episode serves as a masterclass in the best interests of children and is delivered by Simon, an experienced barrister whose broad practice provides listeners with an overview of the law as well as practical lessons to understand how to navigate this crucial area.
