Once you have notified us of a death online, over the phone or by post along with some initial information, our bereavement team will contact you. They will do this either in writing or by phone and will let you know if we require any further documentation.
If you notify us online, you will receive an email confirmation from us. If this does not arrive within 24hours, please contact us on 0800 000 000 - lines are open 8am-6pm Mon-Fri.
To be able to deal with your case, we may need to ask for more information. This could be documentation or other details that were not available at the point of notification to us. This can vary by individual case.
The types of information we could request include: death certificate, marriage certificate, birth certificate, grant of probate and other forms of ID.
We can advise you where to obtain this information as well as explain what they are.
We aim to payout any available funds as quickly as possible. As each case is individual, we will provide you with an expected timeline once you have made contact with us.
We will follow your instruction on how you would like to receive the funds in whichever method you see fit. You can choose to have the money directed into an allocated account or reinvest your funds elsewhere.
If you need to notify us of the death of a policyholder you can do some online or by calling us.
