Finding Financial Details of Deceased

DE_612183

My brother has just passed and has not left a will.
I'm trying tp piece together his financial affairs but don't have a lot to go on - no paperwork.
Is it possible to get a credit report of a deceased person, and if so what do I need to do that?
Thanks

any bank cards around? would possibly lead to you his accounts and take it from there

If he was employed, do you know by whom? They might at least be willing to tell you the name of his bank where his salary was paid. If he was receiving a pension of any description, a payslip or other info should turn up before too long.

It could be a case of 'sit and wait'. If you've not done so, have his mail forwarded to you for at least the next 12 months to ensure that any bank/pension/other financial statements don't fall into the wrong hands. You need the 'special circumstances' form: https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/special-circumstances-redirection-application-form--april-2021.pdf

What is his marital status? Did he own his home?

Council tax, how was that paid?

GP,  dentist, HMRC, work, DWP, pensions

Any idea where he shopped.

Anything on-line, pc laptop you can go through, emails etc.
Mobile phone.

As said it may be a waiting game for paper based to start turning up.

For my dad we wrote to banks with a copy of a death cert (not a certified one). It was enough to get letters back asking to complete their forms.

For shares I wrote to equinity who put me in touch with another company who searched on my behalf for listed shares.

I had poa so I knew a lot before I started, but still came across many shares and an old coop account.
