The 401K is all hers. The pension she gets when she retires. She can take a lump sum / all of it or the company will pay her a monthly annuity. The problem there is if she dies she loses the remaining balance of the pension.

So the whole pension balance when she retires will roll over into an IRA along with the 401K.

Pensions are a touchy subject in Europe. Her company finally stopped making contributions to the plan in 2021 but it still accrues interest on the current investments. Companies in Europe are trying to wean themselves off pension plans.

Funny watching the French complain about the increase to 64 for retirement. In the US it is now over 66 for full retirement for SS.
