Do I need to mention super in my Will if I have a non-lapsing binding death benefit nomination?

Superannuation is not automatically part of your estate. A valid non-lapsing binding death benefit nomination directs the superannuation trustee to make payment directly to your nominated dependants, bypassing your Will completely. However, if your nomination directs your death benefit to your legal personal representative or your estate, or if your nomination fails, your Will may then dictate how your superannuation is distributed. You should still mention superannuation in your Will if there's a possibility that it may form part of your estate and you don't want it distributed under the provisions of your residual estate.
