Practical help after a bereavement, from the first notification to the last account closed.
Bereavement Support
Practical help after a bereavement.
When someone dies, there can be a long list of practical tasks to deal with. We make the calls, request the closure of accounts, request the cancellation of services and chase the replies, and we organise the information your solicitor may need. You can come to us at any stage, including before the death has been registered.
Main service
Bereavement Administration
Practical administrative support after a death, including notifying banks, pension providers and insurers, requesting the cancellation of subscriptions, requesting the closure of accounts and organising the information your solicitor may require for probate. We can also prepare you for the death registration appointment.

What makes us different
Free services notify. We chase.
There are free online services that tell organisations someone has died, and you should use them, they are genuinely useful. But a notification is only the beginning of the work, not the end of it.
What a free online service does
Notifies banks, insurers, utilities and telecoms in one go.
Sends the same notification to many organisations at once.
Gives you a list of who has been contacted.
Free, useful, and worth doing first.
What we do that it cannot
Make the calls, on the phone, with you and on your behalf.
Chase the account that never closed and the reply that never came.
Deal with HMRC, the council and pension providers where a form is involved.
Complete benefit application forms with you.
Keep one master schedule of assets and liabilities for your solicitor.
Sit with you at the kitchen table, in plain English, until it is done.
