WHERE WE CAN HELP
Understanding the situation.
Section 37C death-benefit matters can be especially difficult for families when information is incomplete or dependants and nominees are disputed.

Review available documentation and map the issues needing clarification.
Assist with organising evidence and navigating the fund’s processes.

Frequently asked questions
Does a nomination form automatically determine who receives a benefit?
Not necessarily. Section 37C requires an investigation into dependants and nominees; the circumstances and applicable law determine the allocation process.
Do you act as the pension fund or decide benefit allocations?
No. We provide independent consultancy and investigative support; the relevant fund and its trustees remain responsible for decisions.
Our support is subject to an agreed scope and applicable requirements. We do not guarantee a particular outcome, and professional legal or regulated financial advice may be needed in some circumstances.
