Cancel subscriptions, Contracts

There may be a number of subscriptions, agreements, direct debits and e-invoices in the deceased’s name. Any agreements and insurance policies should either be terminated or transferred to someone else. Take one bill at a time and contact the sender to find out what you need to do. You will gradually become aware of which bills continue to arrive in the deceased’s name. These may include:

• telephone subscriptions
• cable television and streaming services
• internet subscriptions and other digital services
• agreements for electricity
• heating oil, gas, refuse collection, water and wastewater
• home insurance and other insurance policies
• newspaper and magazine subscriptions
• leasing agreements for vehicles, televisions or other technical equipment
• rental agreements or hire purchase agreements.

Don’t hesitate to ask others for help in cancelling or transferring contracts and subscriptions. Using Efterlevandeguidens Checklist, you can make lists to divide responsibility.

Membership and subscriptions

You will need to cancel or transfer newspaper and magazine subscriptions and memberships in associations. Many associations will be unaware that a member has died until you contact them. This may involve a good deal of conversation if the deceased was an active joiner of associations.

Don’t hesitate to ask someone close to you for help.
