Pension Beneficiaries

Have you thought about what will happen to your pension when you pass away?

Did you know that any remaining funds in your pension pot can be used to provide benefits for the causes that you care about.

What you need to do

Most private and workplace pension schemes ask you to choose who you want to leave your pension to. This is called nominating a beneficiary. To nominate your beneficiaries you may need to fill in what’s called either:

a) Expression of Wish or

b) Nomination form.

You will need the following details:

1. 1. Charity Name – Ridgeback Rescue
   2. Charity Number – 1146704

It’s important to keep this information up to date.

Pension death benefits can be passed to your beneficiary in a number of ways: Lump sum payment: This is a single payment which will fully extinguish the pension fund. Lifetime annuity: Your beneficiary can choose to buy an annuity which provides a guaranteed income for life.

For further information in the first instance please contact your pension provider and they will help you.
