    Nothing to do with the OP's question, but if your parents both have DB's @MallyGirl won't the survivor be due a spouse pension from the one who unfortunately passes first (rather than it ceasing)?
    yes the survivor will get a spouse pension - I was more meaning that it won't form part of any inheritance by the kids

    I have suggested an activity for them - to walk around their house full of lovely things and make a video in each room to explain where they bought it all, what the stories behind things are and which ones are family heirlooms that need to go to the right kids. It gives them a chance to reminisce as she can still remember the past and it means we will have some idea of what to be careful of when the time comes to sort it all out.

    What a great idea!
