Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment, my mother has mild cognitive impairment, and my sister is also unwell, so sorting out everything is all on me.
I've done this tell-us-once thing for government stuff, submitting it two days ago.
I've also done one of the banks where my mother was a joint account holder, luckily this is the one that was paying most of the household direct debits and standing orders, so I hope they should continue being paid. My mum also has enough in her own accounts to cover the funeral.
Still got other banks, building societies, and NS&I to contact for my dad's solo accounts, which all need transferring to my mother. I am listed as an executer on my dad's will, along with mother and sister.
What about other orgs? Does it really matter if the water company, telephone and broadband provider continue in my dads name for a couple more months?
Car insurer told me we have 30 days grace before the policy in father's name (with mother as named driver) expires, but as I understand it with tell-us-once the DVLA will be cancelling the road tax - I assume a letter from them will arrive with a reference number to re-tax it?
