There may be subscriptions, agreements, direct debits and e-invoices in the deceased's name. Agreements and insurance policies should either be cancelled or transferred to someone else. Deal with one bill at a time and contact the sender to find out what you need to do. You will gradually see which bills continue to arrive in the deceased's name.
Agreements and subscriptions to cancel:
- telephone subscriptions
- cable TV and digital TV
- internet subscriptions and film streaming subscriptions
- agreements for electricity, heating oil, gas, waste collection, water and wastewater services
- home insurance and other insurance policies
- newspaper and magazine subscriptions
- leasing agreements for a car, TV or other technical equipment
- instalment agreements
Feel free to ask others for help with cancelling or transferring agreements and subscriptions. With the Efterlevandeguiden checklist, you can create separate lists and share the responsibility.
Cancel memberships
You need to cancel or transfer newspaper subscriptions and cancel memberships in clubs and associations. Many organisations will not know that a member has died until you contact them. If the deceased was active in several clubs or associations, this may involve a number of calls. Feel free to ask someone close to you for help.
Checklist – after a death
Use the checklist to get an overview of what needs to be done after a death. Take one thing at a time, in the order that suits you, and adapt the list to your situation.
