Has anyone ever dealt with hunting down pensions of deceased persons?
No will was left, and for reasons I don’t really want to get into on a public forum, I’m of the view that we didn’t have all the details when we dealt with the estate and some accounts may have been hidden by others or plainly not know of. I suspect there’s another bank account, and I suspect there’s an additional pension or two.
It’s been ten years since the person died, and I’m just wondering if anyone has done similar and how they went about it.
I don’t have any paperwork for the deceased accounts I know about, but I’m happy requesting these (if banks hold these for such lengths).
I’ve done the Pension Finder tool on the government website so was going to contact them and ask for next steps there but just curious if anyone else has done this before and any tips.
When the estate was settled it was split three way. I’m the sole executor of the estate, and if anything was found I’d split it that way.
To be honest, I can’t fully remember what was discussed at the time with relation to other accounts and pensions and some was found but not convinced it all was.
