Money guru Martin Lewis has imparted some crucial advice to divorcees to ensure that their pensions are not passed to their ex in the event of their death.
The Money Saving Expert founder took to social media to warn that one simple mistake could mean your former partner getting their hands on your pension pot, reports the Express. He explained that a pension cannot be gifted in a will, and that if you want to ensure it goes to the right person you must take certain steps.
He tweeted: "Warning. Don't accidentally leave your pension to an ex! You can't leave pension savings in your will. Die before taking your private/company pension and the provider/trustees decide what to do with it."
