How do I get power of attorney/court of protection?
For court of protection advice or advice relating to enduring powers of attorney please consult your solicitor.
The sole executor is a solicitor and they are going to charge me too much money to make it worthwhile claiming. Is there any way around this?
In this instance, please seek legal advice.
Who has to complete the claim form/small estates form?
The next of kin to the deceased shareholder.
How do I know who is the next of kin?
The next of kin will be the husband, wife or civil partner, a son or daughter (including step-children if formally adopted), a parent or a sibling of the deceased.
Where can I get copies of a death certificate or probate?
Your local registry office will be able to help with probates. For death and birth certificates you can contact the General Register Office.
