What documents do I need about myself if I am sorting out the deceased’s affairs?
The person formally responsible for sorting out the deceased person’s estate, paying any taxes and debts and distributing the estate is known as the Personal Representative. That person will need the following documents wherever relevant:
- Proof of your relationship to the deceased. Eg marriage/civil partnership or birth certificate, child’s birth certificate naming both parents
- Your social security card/National Insurance number if you will be claiming/changing benefits
