Tracking down Pensions |

A large number of preserved pension
and death benefits in occupational pension schemes have never been claimed. If
you have worked for a few companies you should check out whether you have any
preserved benefits.
Guidance is also provided on how you can trace the ‘Trustees’ of occupational
pension schemes from companies that may no longer be trading, plus useful
pension information to make sure that you get everything that is yours to enjoy
when you retire.

Dormant Funds in Court also known
as ’Estates in Chancery’ or ‘Money in Chancery’ |
|
| |
The Chancery Court has traditionally
accepted sums of money, particularly for missing heirs of deceased persons,
resulting in ‘Estates in Chancery’ or ‘Money in Chancery’. Many people think
this means they may be entitled to claim ownership of real property or land,
but all assets are sold and the cash is lodged into Court. Search Tool Kit
explains ‘Money in Chancery’ in more detail and directs you to the appropriate
offices
