Inherited Pension Options

Posts: 1 Newbie
I have inherited my husbands pension with Pru. It is now in a Cash SIPP and as he died before aged 75, it is tax free. The illustrated growth rate is 1.72% (mid). I am wondering if it is possible/advisable to withdraw funds from it and add to my own pension - to avail of the tax allowance ? As I am 66, I feel I should keep the money within a pension for IHT purposes.

Tax free income (or ad-hoc withdrawals) or don't touch it until they need it. In all cases, it cannot remain in the same pension. It should be transferred to a pension in your name.
