Estate Pension Search

Holding a PensionHunter report for the person who died? Bring it to us: the research is already done, and the Enhanced Pension Identification Report tier turns it into ready-to-send requests for the estate.

When someone dies, workplace and personal pensions, along with death-in-service benefits, can sit unclaimed if the executor is unaware they exist. Executors normally rely on the deceased's paperwork, HMRC records and requests to former employers to reconstruct the picture.

The UK government's free Pension Tracing Service and equivalent public registries in other jurisdictions remain available to executors and next of kin.

This service is available now. If you are settling an estate or supporting a family member, email hello@pensionhunter.ai and a researcher replies personally. If the person held a PensionHunter report, bring it: the research is already done. If not, a Pension Identification Report identifies where every pension from their working life is held. At Enhanced Pension Identification Report tier we prepare each information request in the executor's name, written and ready to send. You attach the documents that establish your authority and send them yourself, and providers respond to you directly. Where anything needs to be shared, we complete the appropriate checks first.
