Death administration guide

A guide for executors and personal representatives

After the loss of someone close, there are often several administrative tasks that need attention, depending on the situation and your relationship to the deceased. Whenever possible, consider asking a trusted family member or friend to assist you with these responsibilities rather than handling them on your own.

To support you, we’ve created a checklist of the most common tasks that need to be completed, along with key resource links to relevant agencies and organisations.

Dealing with death admin while you're grieving the loss of a loved one is tough. So, we've also included some basic tips for supporting yourself during the process.
