Notify-of-Death Letters — Tell Banks, Super and Companies
When someone close to you dies, there are a lot of organisations to tell. For $29 we draft a clear, formal notification-of-death letter — built from your answers — that you adapt and send to each bank, super fund, utility, telco, insurer, government agency or subscription: it asks them to note the death, freeze or close the account, stop billing, and tells them what they need next. You download it straight away and send it yourself. This is practical help with the paperwork, not legal advice.
What this document does
- When someone close to you dies, there are a lot of organisations to tell.
- For $29 we draft a clear, formal notification-of-death letter — built from your answers — that you adapt and send to each bank, super fund, utility, telco, insurer, government agency or subscription: it asks them to note the death, freeze or close the account, stop billing, and tells them what they need next.
- Records the facts that matter on paper: person who died, date of death, your name, your role.
- Calm and courteous: says what happened and what you would like, and invites a conversation. No legal threats.
- Delivered as a PDF you download the moment it is ready.
What we'll ask you
Plain-English questions, one at a time. No legal knowledge needed — if you don't know an answer exactly, your best estimate is fine.
- We are sorry for your loss. This helps you tell banks, companies and government offices that someone has died, so their accounts can be dealt with. To begin, what was the full name of the person who died?
- And what was the date they passed away?
- What is your full name — the person sending these letters?
- What is your role in dealing with their affairs?
- Which kinds of organisations do you need to notify? List them in your own words — for example bank or credit union, super fund, utilities, phone or internet, insurer, government (Centrelink / Services Australia, the ATO), landlord or agent, subscriptions and memberships.
- If you have any account or reference numbers to hand, you can add them here — it helps the organisation find the account. You can skip this and fill it in on each copy later.optional
- What would you like each organisation to do? For example: note that the person has died, close or freeze the account, stop all direct debits and billing, send a final statement, or transfer any balance to the estate. You can skip this and we will cover the usual steps.optional
- Finally, what contact details should the organisations use to reply to you — a postal address, email or phone number?
- You review it first · Nothing is sent to anyone else
