Can pension rights be divided between spouses or cohabitants?

The law on pension funds contains a provision that allows fund members to agree with their spouses or cohabitants on the mutual and equal distribution of earned pension rights.

Three options are available:

  1. to divide earned pension rights

  2. to divide future rights (the premium)

  3. to divide payments when the pension has started.

More information is available in Icelandic on Lífeyrismál´s website.
