Nominations for death in service lump sum

66

1

A participating member may nominate any person as his or her nominee by giving notice to the Fund trustees in such form as they may require. Such a nomination may—

a

nominate 2 or more persons, and

b

where it does so, may specify the proportion of any death in service lump sum which is to be paid to each nominee.

2

A participating member may withdraw a nomination at any time by giving notice to the Fund trustees in such form as they may require.

3

A nomination in force when the participating member dies is invalid in so far as—

a

it nominates an individual who was the participating member's partner when the nomination was made but was not his or her partner when he or she died, or

b

the Fund trustees consider that it would not be reasonably practicable to pay a death in service lump sum to a nominee.

4

The proportion of any death in service lump sum which would, but for rule 66(3), have been paid to invalidated nominees is to be paid to the deceased's personal representatives.
