Getting Divorced
Divorce doesn't just end a marriage - it reshapes your entire financial and legal landscape. Your will, trusts, estate plan and beneficiary nominations all need immediate attention to protect you and your dependants.
What Changes
How divorce affects your estate and financial planning
These aren't future concerns - they require action now, ideally during or immediately after the divorce process.
Your will may be affected
Divorce has immediate implications for your existing will. Without timely action, your estate plan could produce outcomes you never intended.
Trust structures may need restructuring
Family trusts where your ex-spouse is a beneficiary or trustee require careful amendment to protect your interests and those of your children.
Retirement fund benefits may be split
Your pension and retirement fund interests are subject to division on divorce. The implications for your long-term financial security can be significant.
Maintenance obligations affect your estate
Spousal and child maintenance obligations don't end on death - they must be factored into your estate plan, liquidity needs and life cover.
Every divorce is different. Your restructuring plan should be too.
Accrual claims, beneficiary nominations, trust amendments, insurance restructuring - the list of financial actions triggered by divorce is long and the consequences of getting them wrong are severe. Let us map out exactly what needs to happen in your situation.
