Brother's death in care home

givememoney · 2020-04-13 15:05:47

My brother in law has died in a care home. He is single. The home notified his sister of his demise. How does she get access to his bank account to perhaps make sure the care home isn't able to take any more money and also get money. ..if there is any to pay for his funeral.

You've all been very helpful. Going slowly but have discovered that Enfield Council are in charge of his finances, was told this by the care home.
I'm guessing this is a positive thing

That is definitely a step forward - at least someone you can contact about it
