You can use our retirement instruction form for company pension, buy out bond and PRSA AVC.

These are the items that are missed most often – we've listed them according to the relevant page on the application form:

From page 4 (Part 3) – fully completed service dates of relevant employment, in the format dd/mm/yyyy. We'll also need evidence of your client's salary from that employment. You'll need to provide this for all retirement instructions.

From page 11 (Part 7) – a fully-completed and dated authorisation declaration that includes the Trustee's name and signature
From page 12 (Part 8) – please tell us what initial commission and FBRC you want to take and which flexible pricing option you choose. If you're taking FBRC, we'll also need to know the payment frequency
