Choosing the right professional
Check that the provider can advise on the actual pension issue, especially where existing benefits might be changed. Ask about fees and assessment requirements, and do not treat a transfer, withdrawal or consolidation as automatically beneficial.
Important considerations
- Changes may affect valuable existing benefits
- Tax and access rules differ between jurisdictions
- Incomplete scheme information can invalidate assumptions
