According to a Queensland Supreme Court decision, an attorney acting under an Enduring Power of Attorney may be authorised to make a new Binding Death Benefit Nomination (BDBN) where circumstances have changed.

The decision provides useful guidance on how courts may interpret powers contained in Enduring Powers of Attorney and highlights the importance of reviewing estate planning documents together rather than in isolation, including Wills, EPAs, BDBNs, SMSF Trust Deeds and Reversionary Pensions.

Swipe through to learn more about the decision and its implications for estate planning.

Connecting with the Next Generation of Legal Professionals ⚖️

A few weeks ago, our team had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Townsville Careers Expo, where we met with students interested in exploring a career in law.

It was fantastic to chat about the many career pathways within the legal profession, answer questions about studying law, and share what it's like to work at Connolly Suthers Lawyers.
