Pensions After Death UK
Pensions are treated differently depending on the type of scheme.
State pension
State pension stops on death. Surviving spouses may be able to inherit some additional state pension.
Workplace pensions
Often include death benefits. Check with the pension administrator for lump sum payments or survivor pensions.
Private pensions
Defined contribution pensions can usually be passed to beneficiaries, often tax-free if the deceased was under 75.
