ICR176: What happens to my pension when I die?

ICR176: What happens to my pension when I die?

ICR176: What happens to my pension when I die?

Today on the podcast, I’m talking about what happens to your pension when you die.

I know it’s a morbid subject, but it’s so important. Our pensions are usually the second biggest asset in our lives, after the value of our homes, so from a financial perspective, it’s important we take them seriously, both during our lifetime and when planning for our death in the future.

I’m talking about this today after the recent Supreme Court ruling on pension death benefits which marks a major extension of unmarried cohabitees’ rights and could affect millions of families.

In this episode, I start by talking about that Supreme Court ruling and what it means for unmarried couples, then look at pension death benefits more generally, before finishing with some specific action steps you need to consider to get your own pensions in order from the perspective of death benefits.
