Pensions on Divorce Experts
Choosing the right pensions on divorce expert
Instructing the right pensions on divorce expert (PODE) is an important part of achieving a fair financial settlement. Complex pension arrangements require specialist actuarial expertise to ensure they are assessed fairly and accurately.
At Excalibur, we provide independent expert advice to solicitors, mediators and individuals across a wide range of pensions on divorce cases.
Why does specialist expertise matter?
Pensions are often among the most valuable assets within a divorce settlement, but they can also be the most difficult to assess fairly. Cash Equivalent Transfer Values (CETVs) do not always reflect the true value of pension benefits, and differences in scheme design, retirement ages, guarantees and other factors can all affect the outcome.
A specialist pensions on divorce expert provides independent, impartial advice that can be relied upon by both parties and, where required, the court. Acting in accordance with the agreed instructions, we analyse the pension arrangements and prepare an independent report that clearly explains our conclusions and their implications.
