How do I nominate or update my beneficiaries?
The easiest way to nominate or update your beneficiaries is through your online pension account:
- go to the ‘Manage beneficiaries’ part of your dashboard
- select ‘Add new beneficiary’
- enter the beneficiary’s name and what proportion of the death grant you’d like them to have
- keep adding beneficiaries until the total proportion adds up to 100%.
If you haven’t registered for your online pension account yet, you can sign up here. You’ll need your National Insurance number handy.
Or you can fill in our ‘Death grant – expression of wish form‘.
