Has anyone had any experience specifically with Zurich in claiming someone's pension as a lump sum after their death?
My dad died at 62 and his private pension had a lump sum if he died before 75. My dad didn't remarry or have a partner and I'm his only child. I have sent off all the paper work to Zurich and they have returned the death certificate early last week but I have heard nothing since.
I'm just wondering how long these things likely take to payout; my dad didn't leave much in his bank and I want to start sorting his house out as soon as I can. My dad didn't let me in his house the past 6 years and came to me instead, it appears in these 6 years something has gone on with him as he had started hoarding bottles, empty wine boxes and there has been an infestation so it looks like I need to get professionals in to save what I can of his possessions but we have only recently bought our house and are currently skint so the money would really help.
