The meeting concluded at 12:25pm MLC NYCC Pension Fund - Minutes – 10 August 2020 5 ITEM 5 North Yorkshire County Council Pension Fund Committee 11 September 2020 Death Benefit – Mr A 1.0 Purpose of the Report To provide Members with information relating to the death of Mr A on 5 May 2020 in order that a decision can be made as to the beneficiary of the death grant now payable. It is an administering authority discretion under the regulations to decide to whom death grants are paid. The following wording is taken from the ‘Administering Authority Discretions for NYCC’ document: “The administering authority has determined where a nomination has been made it will be taken into account along with any other relevant factors. In practice, the decision will normally be to pay the death grant to the nominee(s), but this may not be the case where there have been significant changes in circumstances since the nomination was made or where there are other material factors which indicate that this would not be appropriate. Where there is no nomination and payment is to be made to the member’s spouse or civil partner then Letters of Administration or a Grant of Probate will not be required. Similarly, payment to the estate can be made without Letters of Administration or a Grant of Probate where the death grant is less than £5,000. Where necessary, cases will be referred to the Pension Fund Committee for a decision.” It is standard practice for the NYPF to pay death benefits in accordance with the Nomination Form completed by the member however, we believe there are other material factors which indicate that this may not be appropriate. 2.0 Background Mr A was an active member of the NYPF and died on 5 May 2020. We received notification of the death from Mr A’s sister on 14 May 2020. The member was married at the time of his death and his third wife is nominated to receive 100% of the death grant. They were married on 12 May 2018 and the nomination form was received on 30 May 2018. There are no children from this marriage. We have subsequently received a letter and the interim death certificate from the solicitors acting on behalf of Mr A’s youngest child from his second marriage who is still a minor. The ex-wife’s solicitor has also emailed asking for death grant discretion to be extended to her and the three children on the basis of length of marriage (19 years) and financial responsibility for the children. There is a Will, dated 11 June 2018 naming his third wife as sole beneficiary unless she predeceases him then 40% is left to his step daughter and 20% each to his 3 children from his first marriage. The children’s names are not correct in the Will as the sons’ middle names have been muddled up. The Will is being contested by the ex-wife’s solicitor due to the lack of financial provision for the children. There is a death grant payable of £85,236.24 8 We issued family information forms to the member’s wife, ex-wife and his sister to obtain as much background information as possible.
