Superannuation does not automatically form part of a person’s assets under their Will. To ensure that your superannuation is transferred in the way you wish, you should contact your superannuation fund and ask about making a binding death benefit nomination.
Binding death benefit nominations can generally be made in favour of a person’s “Legal Personal Representative” (another word for their executor) in which case the superannuation would form part of that person’s estate. However, binding death benefit nominations can also be made directly in favour of certain dependents such as spouses or kids.
This being said, it is still beneficial to list your superannuation in your Will asset inventory, so that your executor can easily identify and locate it.
