What documentation will you need to inform Metro Bank of a death?
Metro Bank requires the following information when reporting a death:
- The original or a certified copy of the Death Certificate
- Proof of identity
- A copy of the will, if there is one
If the account holds a balance over £25,000, you will need to provide the following:
- Grant of Probate/Letters of Administration
What Happens Next?
Once you have notified Metro Bank of the death, they will carry out any necessary steps. If the account is in a sole name or an ISA, any funds will be transferred to a beneficiary, and the account will be closed. Should the account be in joint names, the account will be transferred to the surviving holder.
