Before a Pension Sharing Order can be implemented, the Trustee may require all of the following key pieces of information.

It is important to be aware that pensions are established under trust, which means that they have a very specific set of rules and laws that will apply to them.

Pensions also receive extremely favourable tax treatment, that means without the proper process, required groundwork and approval from the court, it is not possible to simply move money between people's pension. Pension transactions are often irrevocable. This implies that once completed, they can't be undone so appropriate financial and legal help ought to be sought to be certain that this process has been completed properly.
