What happens if the person entitled to a Pension Sharing Order dies after it has been made?
If the transferee dies before the Pension Sharing Order takes effect it will fail whereas if the death occurs before the liability for the pension credit has been discharged the transferee will have an enforceable credit. The way to avoid all these problems is to ensure that any Order made by the Court is expressed as only being effective in the event of the recipient not pre-deceasing the transferor.
