Hi,
Can a vested benefit account be transferred to an ex-partner (after divorce filed abroad - not in Switzerland) if the owner of the account agrees? Not paid out but transferred to the ex-partner’s swiss pension fund or vested benefit account?
In return the ex-partner would then agree to give up his entitled half of a property abroad. This would be included in the mutual consent agreement of the divorce.
My reason for asking is that the occupational pension assets (2nd pillar) will be split in half anyway, and only a Swiss court would allow any deviation to that based upon proof of combined assets.
The outcome of the Swiss court ruling is uncertain no matter what marriage contract existed or what has been agreed in the separation agreement filed abroad and approved by a court outside Switzerland.
A payout of 2nd pillar assets is also possible because the ex-partner who would prefer to keep the house abroad already lives abroad.
So it boils down to one question: Can someone transfer his/her vested benefit account to someone else and what are the possible options.
Thanks in advance for helping out here. This is my first post so I’m curious.
