Resources to Help in the Days After a Death

The admin after a death can be quite stressful. Fortunately, there are some good services out there to help, including:

Tell Us Once, the government’s service for anything HMRC-related.

Settld is a fantastic resource offering a free death notification service to help you to alert banks, service providers,insurance, and other companies.

National Bereavement Service is a free service that helps with the practical tasks after a death, such as how to register a death, legal support, and handling probate

These services mean you don’t have to keep on repeating your story over and over to strangers, along with listening to the pitying or trite responses, especially if you end up getting passed around to different departments.

If there’s a delay in receiving a death certificate because of an inquest, you can ask the coroner for an interim death certificate. Use the interim death certificate to notify a registrar of the death while the inquest is still taking place. You can use the interim death certificate to apply for probate.
