Unlike the rest of your assets, your pension scheme is not included as part of your general estate. It is therefore important that you consider your options and decide who should receive any benefit payments from your pension scheme when you die. Otherwise, you risk the money being paid out to someone other than those you intended.
Nominating a beneficiary means deciding who should receive any disbursements from your pension scheme in the event of your death.
