Hello Aisha, in Nigeria:
*. Obtain the 'Death Certificate' from National Population Commission.
*. Get a 'Letter of Administration' from the High Court.
*. Notify the Pension Fund Administrator (PFA).
Please let me know if you have more questions.
A lawyer once advise that before the demise of the pensioner he should personally go and request for a BOD CERTIFICATE AND FILL
Hello Aisha, it seems there's a misunderstanding. The pensioner can't request for a 'Death Certificate' before demise. However, the pensioner can prepare a 'Beneficiary Designation Form' to ease the process for next of kin.
Ok apart from that what is he supposed to ask for from the pension company
The pensioner should ask for:
*. The process to update beneficiary information.
*. The requirements for beneficiaries to claim the pension.
*. Any forms the company needs completed now or in the future.
Thanks but there's still a certificate I heard about will let you know if I remember the name
Sure, Aisha. Please do let me know once you remember. I'm here to help provide information to your legal queries.
