What happens to my KiwiSaver account when I die?

If a Smart KiwiSaver Scheme member passes away, their KiwiSaver savings form part of their estate.

The person managing their estate will need to contact us and provide some documents before the savings can be paid out. The documents required will depend on the value of the KiwiSaver account and the circumstances of the estate.

How to apply

If you're managing the estate of a Smart KiwiSaver Scheme member, we're here to help you through the process.

Call us on 0800 80 87 80 or use our contact form, and we'll explain what you need to do next.

Once the application has been completed and approved, the KiwiSaver savings will be paid to the estate.
