Double Death

[Hawkey99]

In the unlikely event that my partner and I died in the same accident die i.e. plane crash for example.

would anybody get any of our pensions.

I assume lump sums would go to next of kin....

thanks

It’s possible your main RMPP/RMSPS pension can be paid to your children if they are below a certain age. More info can be found by looking at the ‘guide to death benefits’ here: http://www.royalmailpensionplan.co.uk/s ... an/library" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The value of any Flexiplan, Bonusplan or RM Defined Contribution Plan you have will be paid out to your estate.

If you haven’t already done so, I suggest you fill out your ‘death nomination forms’ available at the same link as above. And also make or update your will if you haven’t already done so, it’s frightening who your money might go to if you haven’t got one that’s up to date.

Hawkey,
Asking a question like that is tempting fate.
You've not both got a holiday abroad booked for this summer, have you ?

HAHA

If only........

Have read the info which was kindly provided by Robert but still not sure if I have had the answer.

Have made our wills
Have signed nomination form.

If I read it correctly our children get 2 thirds of our pension if we die together but as I said ??????

Thanks

Assuming you have 2 or more kids, that's how I read it too.
