SCHEDULE 1Scottish Parliamentary Pension Scheme
Part TMiscellaneous
Payments due in respect of deceased individuals
107
1
This rule applies where a deceased's scheme entitlement is no more than the amount for the time being applicable in relation to the enactments mentioned in section 6 of the Administration of Estates (Small Payments) Act 1965 (c. 32). A deceased's “scheme entitlement” is the total of—
a
any amounts due to the deceased under the scheme at the time of death, and
b
any amounts payable to the deceased's personal representatives under the scheme (ignoring any amounts due by way of interest accruing after death).
2
Where this rule applies, the Fund trustees need not require confirmation or other proof of title before paying amounts due to—
a
the deceased's personal representatives, or
b
any person appearing to the Fund trustees to be beneficially entitled to the deceased's estate.
3
The recipient of any amount so paid is to be liable to account for that amount (and the Fund trustees are to be relieved from any such liability).
