Question:
my mother pensioned in 2008 and has been receiving monthly salary. she passed on in may. is there any fund I can claim / money left due to her beneficiaries? if so how should we go about.
Answer:
Conny, Typically, if a retirement benefit is converted to an annuity, the annuity ceases on the death of the holder. Some annuities have a guarantee, or a spousal benefit, but you would have to check wit the provider to see whether your mother took out such an annuity and whether there are funds you can claim.
