Martin Lewis issues pensions warning to anyone who has been divorced

Martin Lewis has issued a stern financial warning to UK residents who are getting divorced. The financial guru took to social media to highlight a 'simple' mistake many could make which will impact their pension.

Should you be married, your pension and assets automatically go to your spouse should you die, but if you and your partner decide to part ways prior, this could cause issues to arise.

Martin has in turn told his followers that you aren't able to gift your pension in a will, and you must follow certain steps to make sure it's left with the right person when you pass.
