It's very important to notify some particular organisations in writing following a death. If the deceased held a mortgage you must get in touch with the financial institution where the deeds or mortgage is held to notify them of the death. If the deceased lived in rented accommodation, the landlord or local authority needs to be notified so names can be changed on tenancy agreements.
It's essential to get in touch with the deceased's bank or building society to cancel any direct debits from any accounts and if the deceased held any insurance policies, to notify all insurers.
It can be upsetting when bills, statements or subscriptions arrive in the name of a deceased person following a death. Cancel ongoing subscriptions and, if the deceased lived alone, redirect any post to the executor or administrator of the deceased's estate.
If the deceased held a driving licence, contact the NDLS and if they were in receipt of any benefits, contact the relevant government department or agency. To remove the deceased's name from the Register of Electors, use Form RFA1, which is available from your local authority. You can also get in touch with any social clubs and professional or trade organisations.
