How do I remove ex-partners from my pension overview?


Questioner

I got divorced in 1995 and 2010. Both divorce agreements state that no claim is made on the partner's pension. I have passed this on to the pension fund. The ex-partner is still mentioned in the annual overview, and that he will receive pension amount if I die. Does an ex-partner have a legal right to a pension if I die? Why is the ex-partner not included in the pension overview despite the agreement not including a pension settlement?

Lawyer

In the agreement, you have determined not to share the old-age pension. However, if there is a pot for survivor's pension, this is automatically transferred to the special survivor's pension for the ex-partner. This means that your exes are still entitled to a pension after your death. This is not deducted from your own pension, because it is in a different pot. However, it does have consequences for the amount of the survivor's pension of a possible new partner.
