What you can do now to prepare for later: Register your partner!

Of course, you want to share everything with the love of your life. Children, a house, income, friends, your future together. You're full of plans and not thinking much about ‘later’.

Nevertheless, you shouldn't forget to register your partner at the pension fund. Just in case one of you should happen to pass away. If that were to happen, you would want your partner to be well taken care of, wouldn't you? A pension for your partner will help ensure he or she has enough income. Your partner will receive that pension for the rest of their life. But your pension fund will have to know you have a partner. If you are living together, the pension fund will not automatically be notified of that. That's why you need to register your partner at the pension fund if a partner’s pension is important for you. See how it works here. It will only take a few minutes of your time.
