Insurance policies: What you will need to do

Insurance: What to do

  1. Register the death.

    You’ll need to register the death at any local registry office (within 5 days in England and Wales and 8 days in Scotland). Once you’ve registered the death you will be given a death certificate.

  2. Provide us with an original/certified copy of the Death certificate.

    Call into any one of our branches or post them to our Bereavement Team (Contact details are listed on the right).
