Credit Seaches for Estates bills

I am dealing with a family members affairs. I am Executor and am managing Probate process for the house and the bills.
Im trying to understand if I will encounter several Hard Credit Searches personally for the suppliers. Specifically EDF and Sky Broadband which I dont want to be disconnected. They have transferred the accounts to me, whilst the house sale is progressing. But Im hoping these wont impact on my credit score. I havent agreed to anything. But I have given one my bank details to continue the service.
TIA

These are the debts of the estate and should be settled when it is distributed. Have you been real NG with the bereavement departments?If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0

I am talking about paying the services in the interim, as I am doing now. I am paying them at this point to avoid services being stopped.
Sorry, not sure what the second sentence means.0 -

Yes I have.
My question isnt really about dealing with the bills so much.
Its about my credit rating and can these companies impact that, even though Im only acting as a temporary interim in this situation.0
