It’s a legal document that directs the trustee of your super fund on how to pay your super benefits after your death, ensuring your wishes are followed.

Who can I nominate in a BDBN?

You can nominate dependants (such as a spouse, children, or financial dependants) or your legal personal representative (estate).
