We will make the process as easy as possible for you. Once you have told us of the death, we will freeze the account. This means there will be no payments in or withdrawals out of the account (although interest will still be earnt). We’ll let you know what documents we need and aim to sort everything out as quickly as possible. We will tell you how long we expect the process to take, what to expect and when, and what you will need for the next steps.
