I am conducting an audit of the superfund following the passing of a 42-year-old member. The sole remaining trustee is the deceased member's mother, and there is no Binding Death Benefit Nomination (BDBN) in place. The mother intends to receive the death benefit payout and has asserted that she was in an interdependency relationship with the deceased. As an auditor, what documents should we seek to verify the interdependency relationship, and how should we proceed to ensure compliance without any issues?
