What happens to an EPA if someone dies?
If the Donor dies the EPA automatically comes to an end. The Attorney should send the original EPA and the death certificate to the OPG as soon as possible.
I was not aware of this when my wife died
I do not now have the original death certificate and I know that I will have to pay £25 for acopy
Bearing in mind that it cost £150 to register in the first instance I am reluctant to spend more money on something that is now worthless
Have you any idea what (if any) is the penalty for not returning
the document ??????

Peter's name has been removed from the mortgage but I have the title deeds to the house and how do I go about removing his name?
Thanks on advance for any help.

Hi my mother passed away today after long illness/and suffered from alzheimers.
My 2 brothers and i are executors in her will. My question revolves around probate and asset recovery. My mother showed my brother a statement last year for £40,000 approximately. We are aware of other sums from her current accounts but have not been able to locate this sum...

I'm sorry for your loss.
Do you know with which bank or financial institution the 40k was? If you know this then I would contact them with a certified copy of the death certificate, although it might be easier after you have obtained probate.
I hope this is of some help.
Hi All,
I'm starting a thread here to help with the practical issues of dealing with a loss/death. I was completely losts when mum died, not just emotionally but practically.
I'm going to start off by adding a few useful documents and books that I have used to get through all the practical issues. I'm not going to go into too much detail, just point to some really useful resources. I'll add to this over the next couple of days.
It has also been my first probate to deal with and I have learnt a lot a long the way. Please add any useful resources that you know of, and as time goes on I will try to summarise it all in another closed thread and perhaps make it a sticky.
Kind Regards
Craig

whilst we are in no rush to settle this matter and wish to celebrate her life as notrmal, we do not necessarily wish to pay a solicitor exorbitant fees if we can find this info out ourselves. appreciate the excellent threads above.
in your contributors experience would probate be a reasonably simple matter even where all assets are not known?
mnay thanks for any replies/advice.

Paper work they sent me was not hard to fill in. Just asking how much the property was worth, because the more its worth the more one pays for probate.

Also what about contact the insurance company they were insured with as well.What to do after a death in England & Wales
Ref: D49 April 2006
This is a book/leaflet you can get from any CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau). It has loads of useful information including details on the things you must do.
For example - in the first five days you must:
- Notify the family doctor
- Register the death at the register office
- Contact a funer director
- Advise the DWP
- Complete form BD8 - this stops any benefits
Here is a link to a PDF version for the computer savey.
