What happens to your money when you die

Who your money goes to

When you die, the money in your pension pot will normally be paid as a lump sum. You can tell us who you'd like your money to go to. In certain circumstances, the Trustees might use your pension pot to provide pensions for one or more of your dependants.

The Trustees don't always have to pay your money to the person or people you've named, but in most cases, they do.

Remember to update the names you've given us whenever your circumstances change - like if you get married or have a child.

Tell us who you'd like your money to go to.

Your Core life cover, and any Extra life cover you have bought, will be paid out as a lump sum if you die while working for Unilever.

This benefit is provided by the Unilever UK Pension Fund.

If you die after you're 75, the person or people we pay your money to will have to pay tax on the amount they get.
