Don’t let tax obligations derail the estate administration.
You know when someone dies, there are numerous tax obligations that must be addressed – final tax returns, capital gains on assets, outstanding tax debts, and more.
The ATO expects compliance regardless of your grief or inexperience. We will systematically identify every tax obligation, prepare all required documents, obtain necessary clearances, and ensure the estate is distributed without exposing anyone to personal liability.
Death brings enough grief without the added burden of complex tax compliance.
The Government shouldn’t compound your loss with confusing obligations and harsh penalties. Executors shouldn’t face personal liability for trying to honour someone’s final wishes.
You’ve been entrusted with administering a loved one’s estate. You want to do right by them and the beneficiaries. The deceased had various assets, income sources, and potentially complex tax affairs. You’re discovering obligations you didn’t know existed – date of death valuations, capital gains calculations, final returns, and trust distributions.
Without proper guidance, you could personally become liable for unpaid taxes, face penalties for missed deadlines, or distribute assets that should have gone to the ATO.
The ATO doesn’t pause for grief.
Someone has died leaving behind assets and tax obligations. You need to ensure all tax requirements are met before distributing the estate, or you could face personal liability.
Ignore tax obligations and you risk:
-
-
- ATO penalties;
- Interest charges;
- Personal liability as executor;
- Asset freezes;
- Beneficiary disputes; and
- Having to claw back distributed assets to pay tax debts.
