Listen Later

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra in Money Matters, that aired live on Friday 19 June 2026 with 2CC’s Leon Delaney. The topic is: What is a testamentary trust and how does it benefit the next generation if something was to happen to you. In this episode Luke takes a deep dive into this estate planning consideration. It’s a must listen if you have children.

But before they dive into this week’s topic, they talk about the amendments that are now being made from the Federal Budget announcements. Are these back flips? It’s definitely good news for all those that will benefit from the changes. The testamentary trust backflip is also a great outcome, and a great topic for this week’s podcast.
