Q. I heard that I can’t control who gets my Super when I die. Is this true?
Josie’s Answer - Well done. You are on the ball. Yes, it is true that you can’t control who gets your super when you die.
It can be ultimately determined by the Trustee of your super fund (some stranger who has never met you!) If you have retail superannuation fund e.g. AMP, MLC etc or an industry fund (not a self managed super fund) it can be challenged in the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal (SCT). Read more
