STEP NSW Lunch and Learn | Wednesday 12 November 2025

STEP NSW Branch invites you to a seminar with Ankit Sharma and Andrew Wilson, Pitcher Partners.

Topic: Estates & Estate Planning: Speaking from experience a wealth advisor and an accountant.

Estate planning is topical for many of our clients. With the great wealth transfer, Australian generally being wealthier as well as more blended families, Pitcher Partners assists clients with their taxation and financial planning requirements when it comes to finalising their own estate plans as well as being called in to assist when someone has passed away.

Andrew Wilson from our Private Wealth division will speak to his role in estates and estate planning, the discussions he has with clients and the common issues/pitfalls to be aware of.

Ankit Sharma from our Private Business and Family Advisory division will take this a step further and work through several tax planning opportunities during the estate planning process and after death with a focus on the use of CGT rollovers.
