Nominate your loved ones

Jan 3, 2020
By nominating, you could make life a little easier for your dependants.

What is a nomination?
 
Your nomination tells the Trustee who you’d like a lump sum to be paid to if you die before claiming your benefits (or within five years or taking them).
 

Why nominate?
 
The lump sum is a valuable benefit, but if you don’t nominate, the Trustee might not know who your chosen beneficiaries are.
 
By nominating, you can help avoid delays in payments after your death and the payments are not usually liable to inheritance tax because they are at the Trustee’s discretion.
 

How to nominate online…
 
You can nominate easily by logging into your myRPS account (or registering for one if you haven't already)! 
 

Who should nominate? 

  • Everyone currently paying into the Scheme
  • Those who have benefits in the Scheme that they’ve not yet taken.

Even if you’ve nominated before, you should check your choices every couple of years and submit a new form to keep your wishes up to date.
 
 
Who can you nominate?
 
You can nominate: 

  • An individual or several people
  • Charities
  • Clubs or organisations
