Can I claim my deceased husband's fund if we were separated?


Question:

If myself and my husband were seperated not divorced and he has passed away. Can I claim his pension fund

Answer:

Michelle,

You can advise the fund of his passing, but the trustees will decide how the money should be allocated. They have to ensure that all his financial dependants are provided for (this may include you, depending on your circumstances). If there were no financial dependants, the money would be allocated according to his beneficiaries nomination form. If he had not completed this form, the money will then fall into estate, and be distributed according to his testament.
