11. Estates and Taxes
Manage episode 445274500 series 3570099
Finalising an estate is both emotionally and structurally complex.
And one of the key complexities executors (and beneficiaries) will need to wrestle with is how it's all affected by tax.
This is a tough topic - it can be dry, remote and blindingly difficult for a layperson to come to grips with.
Which is why I've invited Daniel Vicino and Phil Seath - CPAs from SPIRE Business Services in Melbourne - to come on the podcast and take us through some of the (many) considerations executors will need to work with.
We discuss:
- Why it's so important to find the right adviser to help you navigate the process (and help you answer beneficiary questions along the way)
- When an estate is taxed, how it's taxed - and what to do about it.
- How you can resolve the complexities when the person who's passed away wasn't up to date with their returns (or had, perhaps, laid a few dodgy pitfalls along the way...)
I asked Daniel and Phil on because they're great at taking such complex (and, let's face it, dry) material and making it relevant and interesting for the rest of us.
Leaving aside the times when I sound like a knuckle dragging dropkick, I think there's so much information and useful advice in here that anybody confronting the taxation aspect of an estate would definitely benefit.
As always, if you have any questions, just get in touch.
