In connection with the death of a person close to me, I would like to ask how I can inherit his pension savings from the UAPF?
In accordance with Articles 31, 32, 33 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Pension Provision in the Republic of Kazakhstan", in case of death of a person who has pension savings due to mandatory, mandatory professional and voluntary pension contributions, they are inherited in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Inheritance of pension savings is carried out by will or by law. When there is no will or does not determine the fate of the entire inheritance, as well as in other cases established by civil law, inheritance by law takes place.
According to section 6 (Inheritance law) The Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan in order to acquire an inheritance, the heir must accept it by submitting an application for acceptance of the inheritance or an application for the issuance of a certificate of inheritance to a notary or an official authorized in accordance with the law to issue a certificate of inheritance to an official. The inheritance may be accepted within six months from the date of the opening of the inheritance, i.e. within six months from the date of the testator's death.
To simplify the procedure, as well as to optimize the interaction between the UAPF and notaries on these issues, an Agreement on the interaction of the state information system "Unified Notary Information System "E-Notary" and the UAPF information system (hereinafter referred to as the Agreement) was concluded between the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republican Notary Chamber, JSC "NIT" and the UAPF.
Within the framework of the Contract, notaries through the implemented service can send online requests to the UAPF to obtain information about the balances and movements of money in individual pension accounts (hereinafter referred to as IPS) of deceased persons, without sending written requests.
After receiving from a notary a certificate of the right to inheritance in the form of pension savings available on the deceased person's IPS, the heir or his proxy must apply with a package of documents to the UAPF. The full list of documents is presented here: https://www.enpf.kz/ru/services/recipient/heir.php
If the list of documents is provided in full by the heir, the UAPF makes a payment within 10 working days from the date of receipt or receipt of documents by the UAPF.
It is important to note! Payment of inherited pension savings is carried out exclusively:
1. on the basis of documents submitted to the UAPF;
2. UAPF, and not by other individuals or legal entities;
3. to the bank account of the heir himself, including if the recipient of pension payments is a minor or an incapacitated/partially capable adult. The payment of pension savings to the bank account of another person, even a legal representative (guardian / trustee) or attorney is not allowed.
The heir or his proxy, including on the basis of a certificate of inheritance, has the right to receive information from the UAPF about the state of pension savings of the deceased person in the form of an extract from the IPS with a QR code that contains a web link to an electronic version of the statement from the IPS, certified by an electronic digital signature of an authorized person of the UAPF. At the same time, the web link for verifying the authenticity of the submitted statement with the IPS is available within 1 (one) month from the date of issuance of the statement with the IPS.
