Death:  What happens after?

The death of a loved one often comes with a multitude of mixed feelings. If you are the executor of the deceased (as appointed in their will) or the administrator (where no will has been made.  This is usually the next of kin of the deceased) then you may also feel fear and anxiety because you are faced with a task that you know very little about.

If you find yourself in this position our advice is:

• Do not panic.  Help is available.
• Request our fact sheet ‘A Guide to executors duties (on death)’.

Our fact sheet explains the difference between executors and administrators, sets out the actions an executor needs to undertake immediately, and over the coming days. Gives you guidance on obtaining Probate, and [perhaps more importantly] it lists where additional help can be obtained.  And it gives a number of hints that will make the task easier, and less risky -- including the executor’s nightmare... will storage: where to search for a missing will that cannot be found.
