Same address where your father sent his life certificates. Maybe your mother has to go to the German embassy or a German consulate for verifying her identity.

Colki Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I am a recipient of a Aust / NZ aged pension and am absolutely certain unless she was resident of Australia and think for a term of at least 12 years she will not receive pension funds from Australia. There are inheritance rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I believe German pension rights are quite fair. Australia will legislate and rule against paying people living elsewhere wherever they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
