In this episode of the Investing for Doctors Podcast, we sit down with estate planning solicitor Tyrone Dutt to unpack one of the most misunderstood areas of wealth protection — what actually happens to your assets when you die.
We dig into the critical documents every medical professional needs but most don't have — wills, enduring guardianships, binding death benefit nominations — and how your family could end up fighting in court if you get this wrong.
We cover the key estate planning mistakes doctors make, the legal traps hiding in your superannuation, and why relying on your will alone might not be enough to protect your loved ones.
You’ll also learn how blended families, second marriages, and dependents from different relationships can complicate even the simplest estates — and how to bulletproof your plan before it’s too late.
If you're building wealth but haven’t thought about what happens after you're gone — this episode is your wake-up call!
