Registering the death with Life Ledger will mean that the notification can be completed quickly and painlessly. There is a short ID verification process for you; upload a copy of the death certificate, and enter the details required by the Prudential. When ready, hit the Send button and the notification is done.
But you have more than one notification to make, right? Which is why Life Ledger then allows you to continue adding details for companies. There is no limit to the number of notifications you can make through the site, so continue until all are done.
What information do I need to inform the Prudential Investment Bonds of a death?
Most investment companies need the same information to begin, so have the following information to hand when contacting them:
- The full name and date of birth of the deceased
- Their policy numbers – these should be in their documents
- Date of Death
- If there is a Will, who has been named as Executor – don’t forget, if this isn’t you, that you will need to receive their permission to be able to pass on their details
- Details of the next of kin
What happens next?
Companies have processes that they follow when dealing with a death, and this is especially true of the financial institutions. However, they will keep you informed as to what is happening.
As for the rest of the situation, Life Ledger has created a simple guide that will move you through the situation. There may be steps that you won’t need to take, but it will show you an overview, and help you see what you may still need to do.
Furthermore, you’ll see on the guide that by far the biggest headache on the list is going to be notifying the companies. Registering with Life Ledger means that that headache can be minimised. As well as helping in that way, you should know that there is no charge for using Life Ledger. So no invoices will be coming your way, just peace of mind that it is taken care of.
