When estate planning is left too late, families can face uncertainty, avoidable tax, and conflict. At Progressive Financial Solutions in Melbourne, we help you create a clear financial plan for the transfer of wealth, so your wishes are carried out and the right people are looked after. We focus on the financial side of estate planning – asset structures, superannuation death-benefit strategies, beneficiary nominations, and tax – and we work with your solicitor to prepare or update the legal documents that give effect to your plan.

Our Process

Estate planning is not a one-off document. It’s a strategy that evolves with your life.

1. Consultation

We learn about your family structure, assets, goals, and any concerns.

2. Superannuation & SMSF Review

We map financial structures use, superannuation and pensions, insurances, trusts, companies, and loan accounts to understand how wealth would pass today.

3. Strategy Development & Recommendations

We design the financial estate plan: asset protection considerations, tax-aware transfer strategies, beneficiary nominations, and BDBNs or reversionary pensions where appropriate.

4. Implementation

We help you put the strategy into action and coordinate with your solicitor for wills, powers of attorney, and trust updates.

5. Monitor & Review

We revisit your plan as laws or circumstances change to keep everything aligned with your wishes.

What We Can Do For You

Progressive Financial Solutions Melbourne

Our Estate Planning Financial Planning Services

Superannuation & Estate Planning

We help you decide how super and pensions are paid on death, and to whom. This includes reviewing dependents, potential tax on adult-child beneficiaries, and whether a reversionary pension or BDBN is more suitable.

Beneficiary Nominations

We review and update nominations across super, pensions and insurance so they reflect your current wishes and remain valid.

Tax-Aware Wealth Transfer

We consider capital gains tax, superannuation tax on death benefits, and the order of asset transfer to reduce the tax your beneficiaries might face.

Asset Structure & Protection

We review ownership across individuals, joint names, companies and trusts to manage risk and support the outcomes you want.

Intergenerational & Aged Care Considerations

We help families plan for aged care funding, Centrelink impacts, and the flow-on effects estate decisions have on cash flow and entitlements.

Working With Your Solicitor

Your lawyer prepares legal documents like wills, powers of attorney and trusts. We provide the financial roadmap and coordinate with them so documents and strategy align.

Frequently Asked Questions

A will is a legal document prepared by your solicitor. Estate financial planning sets the strategy for how wealth passes – superannuation nominations, reversionary pensions, asset structures, and tax outcomes – and then your solicitor documents it.

Super usually sits outside your will. We help you decide who should receive super and pensions, how payments should be made, and what tax might apply so more of your savings reach the right people.

Yes. The way assets are owned and transferred can impact CGT and the tax on super death benefits. We design strategies that aim to minimise tax and keep more in your estate.

Review after major life events such as marriage, divorce, a new child or grandchild, selling a business, or receiving an inheritance. Otherwise, a review every two to three years is recommended.
