Insurance: What to do
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.
Provide us with an original/certified copy of the Death certificate.

Insurance FAQ's
What happens to Mortgage Payment Insurance that is held with the Society?
What happens to Home Insurance arranged with the Society?
If there is a buildings insurance policy arranged through us it must be continued until the mortgage is repaid or we are notified that alternative insurance arrangements have been made.
Please note, if the property is to remain empty in excess of 60 days, you must contact us to discuss this further with the Bereavement Team on 0345 166 9229.
What about Life policies?
If there are any life insurance policies in place, you’ll need to contact the policy provider to put a claim in place
