Pensions on Divorce
Obtaining specialist financial advice on your divorce is very important. Making the wrong decision because of incomplete information or a desire to settle matters quickly could have major financial consequences for the rest of your life.
When it comes to dividing your financial assets, you could lose tens or even hundreds of thousands of pounds if they are not reviewed and valued professionally. We have experience of such cases and the sooner we get involved the more likely it is we can help. Even if a financial agreement has been reached in principle, it may not be too late to change it.
At Pembroke, we have a team of specialists with the expertise to advise you on complex asset valuation, pension and tax planning opportunities. We can provide you and your lawyers with the reassurance you need to understand your settlement is a fair one, so that you can move forward with clarity and confidence. In addition, for divorce related work, we charge only for the time we spend on your affairs.

-
In depth analysis of all pension schemes – which to transfer
-
Evaluation of the CEV *
-
Equalising pension payments *
-
