Course description
Family practitioners know the need to ensure pensions are properly taken into account as part of the financial settlement between the parties. The Armed Forces Pension schemes are valuable assets and if either your client or their spouse has served in any of the armed services, they are likely to have some benefit under one of the armed forces pension schemes (AFPS).
Whether you act for the member of the scheme or their spouse, having a greater knowledge of the AFPS and how they work will mean that you can provide sound advice and ensure a fair outcome for your client.
Presented by Sarah Dureau, a partner at Parker Bullen LLP with a unique insight from her previous experience serving in the Armed Forces and working within the Ministry of Defence, this webinar will explore everything you need to know in just 1 hour.
