They will also ask for the following Contact Details:

 

  • Next of kin.
  • A surviving husband, wife or civil partner.
  • The person dealing with the estate.

 

(NOTE: You must obtain the agreement of the persons listed above before providing their information.)

 

‘Tell Us Once’ can then inform:

 

  • Government Departments.
  • Department of Work and Pensions.
  • HM Revenue and Customs.
  • Identity and Passport Service.
  • Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
