Australia has no inheritance tax, or so they say: In reality, many people will have most of their life savings in super - and much of that money may be taxed when inherited by the next generation.
It's one of the important points made by our special guest today, who's just written a book on the entire subject of wills, death and taxes.

Author Noel Whittaker joins wealth editor James Kirby in this episode.

In today's show, we cover:

* The hidden death tax in your super savings 
* Understanding the enduring power of attorney system
* Asked to be the executor of a will? What should you do
