Is your insurance cover owned by you, or by your super fund's trustee?
It's a question most people never think to ask, and the answer changes more than you'd expect: how your premiums are taxed, how a payout is taxed on the way out, and what has to happen before a claim is released.
Cover held inside super goes through the trustee first, who needs to be satisfied you meet a condition of release before funds are paid, an extra step that cover held outside super doesn't have.
Swipe through for the full breakdown of ownership, tax treatment, and what changes at claim time. If you're not sure which structure your own cover sits in, that's worth a conversation.
