Pensions Guide

Thank you for choosing to view our guide on the UK’s updated pension rules. We hope this document will help you to understand the new pension regime following the introduction of additional freedoms in April 2015.

This guide covers:

  • The new pension freedoms available to people over the age of 55
  • The switching process for people with ‘final salary’ pension schemes
  • Passing on a pension pot to family or other beneficiaries after death

A copy of our FREE guide can be downloaded by completing the form below. This guide has been designed to give a general overview of the key changes to the pension regime. However, in order to get advice tailored to meet your specific retirement plan, please speak to our expert independent financial advisers at Lamont Pridmore Asset & Wealth Management.
