WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE DIES
Tell Us Once Service
The Tell Us Once service is a convenient way to report a death to most government organisations in one step. When you register the death, the registrar will inform you if this service is available in your area.
TWO SERVICES WORTH KNOWING
One step instead of many
- 01
Tell Us Once
If the service is available in your area, you’ll need to register to use it within 84 days after registering the death. This service saves time by notifying multiple departments, such as HMRC, the Department for Work and Pensions, and the local council, all at once.
- 02
The Death Notification Service
There’s also the Death Notification Service, a similar option that allows you to notify a range of banks and building societies. This service is especially helpful for managing the deceased’s financial affairs and ensures accounts are properly closed or transferred.
If you would like a hand with any of this, we are here. Call 01934 271027 and we will talk it through with you, with no charge and no obligation.
