What happens in the event of a spousal relationship breakdown?
In the event of a spousal relationship breakdown the account is split according to a court order, leaving no less than 50% to the pensioner. See the Glossary on our website for the definition of spouse and information on when the relationship is considered terminated. Your spouse is your beneficiary until that time.
