What happens to my pension capital if I die during my working life?

The beneficiaries of a death benefit are named in the Beneficiary Regulations. The Beneficiary Regulations in an occupational pension scheme is independent of the law of succession (the Swiss Civil Code). A will, in which a potential distribution of capital has been written down, does not apply to occupational pension schemes and has no validity.
