Probate letter to bank or building society
When applying for a grant of probate, the executor(s) named in a Will or the administrators must determine the value of the deceased's estate at the time of his/her death and, in this process, you can use this letter to write to a bank or building society to obtain information about the deceased's accounts. It will also cancel any direct debits. Please note that you can only use this document in England & Wales or Northern Ireland and that you must also enclose a copy of the death certificate with this letter.
