70 per cent of people who receive an unexpected windfall, such as a lottery win, spend it within three years. Similarly, it’s unfortunate to see many who receive an inheritance squander this wealth within a few years. If you find yourself in possession of an asset or sum of money through an inheritance or windfall, often the best thing to do is to stop and get financial advice.
In this ebook we help guide you through the often complex considerations that arise from becoming beneficiary of a windfall or inheritance.

Debt management
Tax implications

When it came to acquiring a lifestyle underpinned by financial security, Brenton Tong grew up in Sydney hearing, “People like us can’t do things like that.” He’s made a career out of proving that wrong for himself and for all kinds of clients who couldn’t see a way to the life they deserved, however hard they worked. He is now consistently ranked as one of Sydney’s top financial planners (Adviser Ratings).
