FAQ
Using the credit report as your guide, contact all banks and credit card companies at which the deceased had an open account and close those accounts as quickly as possible. You will need to provide a certified copy of the death certificate to close the account.
Respected Sir/Madam, I am writing to you with a heavy heart to inform you of the demise of my husband, Mr. Rajeev Singh, who had a savings account in your esteemed bank. It is a difficult time for our family, and I need to settle his financial affairs.
The credit card company may request a copy of the death certificate or any paperwork relating to the estate. This is a great opportunity for you to reiterate your request to close the account in writing. If the account is a joint account, the issuer will simply remove your loved one's name from the account.
Get in touch with the credit card company This is a great opportunity for you to reiterate your request to close the account in writing. If the account is a joint account, the issuer will simply remove your loved one's name from the account. If not, the issuer will close it completely.
Notifying creditors after a loved one's death It is usually posted in a newspaper with both local and national circulation to ensure creditors see it. A notice will contain the name of the person who passed away, the deadline for creditors to make claims, and the address they should contact.
Letters of Administration will need to be obtained which requires filing a petition and many other documents with the Court. The petition for Letters of Administration is filed in the Surrogate's Court in the county where the decedent lived.
Last but not least, contact all three of the major national credit bureaus and request a credit freeze. This helps prevent anyone from opening new credit cards or accounts in the name of the deceased. (They can do so if they know their name, Social Security Number, and other personal information.)
If your loved one had credit cards, those credit cards will need to be canceled once they pass away. This is not typically something that automatically happens once someone dies, so it's an important task to complete. Try to get organized beforehand with the names of accounts and passwords.
