Q&A: How can we reduce the super death tax for our beneficiaries?

Q1: I am now 61 years old and just retired, so understand I can access all my super tax-free. I’m about to move my balance less than $6,000 from an accumulation account to an income account. I wish to reduce the death tax payable by my beneficiaries in the case of my death. I have over $600,000 in my super as a taxable component and wonder if and how I can withdraw part of it (say up to $300,000 if no, bring-forward used) and contribute it back to super as a non-concessional contribution.
