Pension overpayment.

Question by barb_bru Reward: Log in to view Status: Pending a resolution
My mom was receiving a pension plan set up by my dad, we do not know the length of the pension plan he set, it was a time pension plan, running for x many years carried over to my mom in the event of his death. My mom passed away continuing to receive this plan, we notified them at the time of her death. The company is now stating they over payed her by 4 years and want the money returned, is the estate responsible for their overpayment, and failure to monitor their payments.

You know what???Get to a lawyer, I am not sure that the estate is responsible. the pension plan received a DEATH CERTIFICATE OF YOUR MOM, and they should have acted on this notice. Now they did not act on this notice. Did you continue to cash your Mom's cheques. If you did that was wrong but not sure how they said they overpaid the account. If you did not cash the cheque from the pension co. and you mother cashed the cheque from the pension company as she thought she had the right then I don't think she did anything wrong. Your question is a bit unclear. So go to a lawyer and I don't pay that company one cent until you find out who is at fault here. AN OLD SAYING, YOU CAN'T GET MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER HERE. AND HER ESTATE IS WILLED TO BENEFICIERIES AND SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED BY OTHERS. GOOD LUCK AND DON'T PAY THEM ANYTHING YET.
