Yeah! I think that should be the only condition for such to happen. The death certificate would have to be tendered and the next of kin with the form of identification to verify that he is who he claims to be.
This is how it works correctly in my country, only the pensioner can receive the pension benefit, if he/she dies, his/her spouse can receive it by providing the necessary documentation and presenting it to the company where the deceased worked. If the spouse also dies, the minor or disabled children can receive the benefit.
You're correct. That's how it works in my country, only if the person chooses his or her immediate family as the next of kin. But if the pensioner uses his or her mother as the next of kin, then the mother will stand instead of its immediate family.
I had not thought about this possibility and I do not know if in my country it is possible to register an immediate ascendant relative. Maybe because there are very few cases, since we are referring to a pension and generally if the parents are still living here they already have their pension. But I will inquire about it.
You should make more inquiries to clear the air, and know if its accepted in your country. In my country, you can use your immediate ascendant relative, be it your father, mother, sister, brother etc as your next of kin.
Yes, I did a little research and you are right @Sincerem , it is possible to include parent, spouse and children in the case I described above. Good thing you made that post which led me to do a little research and you are absolutely right.
I'm happy you understood my points, about making choices when it comes to the next of kin. Anyone can be one's next of kin, provided the victim preferred the person to be.
This is not the case here, since it is not for close relatives, it is for direct ascendants who are the father or mother and direct descendants who are the children. Otherwise they will not have access in the registry of beneficiary of the pension, this in the governmental entities, I do not know how it will be in those that cancel such pension in a private way.
Your country's government wants the family of the deceased to take full control of the left over wealths, owed by the government. Their is no time where the family of the deceased will be left out as next of kin for an outsider, that's impossible.
