All death benefit lump sums paid by the Scheme are distributed in the way decided by the Trustee. The Trustee will take account of your wishes but is not legally bound by them. To make your wishes known to the Trustee you must complete a nomination form.
If you die in Pensionable Service and if a lump sum is payable to your spouse and /or dependant(s) they have a number of options when considering how they would like to receive the benefit. These are the same options that would apply to a member retiring from the Scheme. You can read more about these options by clicking here.
