Deceased estates
How to manage the account of someone who has passed away.
Finalising the estate of someone who has passed away can be a stressful time, so we want to help you close or transfer the energy account and make this as easy as possible.
Information you’ll need before you call
- Your name and contact details
- Your relationship to the account holder
- The name of the executor (if it isn’t you) and their details
- The account details of the deceased person
You don’t have to be family or the executor of the estate, so long as you can tell us the above information to make sure we're providing the correct service.
If we need any documents, we’ll let you know the best way to send them to us.
How it works
If you need the energy supply to stay on, we’ll guide you through the steps to close the account or transfer it to another person. We'll need the executor or someone else to have an account set up in their name.
Get in touch
We can assist you over the phone, so give us a call when you're ready. We're here to help.
