Pension Pot £45K for reinvestment

I am in my 70s with a lump sum in a pension fund which matures soon. I have took the tax free cash sum 5 years ago and just left the remainder in a protected retirement plan with LV. I do not need to take an annuity plenty of other pensions. I would like the sum to stay in an investment so my children inherit the cash. any suggestions please

    Can’t you just leave it where it is?

    Would your children benefit from it now? You get to see the joy it brings.
