After a loved one has died, there can seem to be an overwhelming amount of work and task that must be completed. From banks to insurance agencies, governmental agencies to Facebook and Twitter; it can be hard to keep track of, and make sure everything has been covered.
To help with this process, we have put together some information and links to checklists on this page that we hope you find helpful and can help guide you through this process. You can also print out our Aftercare Checklist below, and use it to guide you during this transition period.
There are three national credit reporting agencies which you should notify of the death and instruct them to list all accounts as: “Closed. Account Holder is Deceased.” You may also request a credit report to obtain a list of all creditors and to review recent credit activities.
Check below each Credit Reporting Agency you wish to send this Notification. It is recommended that you send the Notification to each Credit Reporting Agency with copies of the death certificate and, if you are the personal representative of the estate, your appointment papers from the Probate Court. Prior to sending, make copies for your records.
It can be easy to overlook social media websites, and since these websites provide various options, it is always advisable to visit the website and determine what course of action may be best. Each social media website has different requirements for making changes to a loved one's account; we recommend printing out the Social Media Notification Checklist by clicking here, to help guide you through this complex process.
