Hi

My condolences.

I used TUO for a relative last year & it was a very good service.

Re DWP they were very good & stopped all DWP benefits & I had letters to confirm shortly after. Also,there was money due to the estate & that came quickly.

I can't remember if TUO contact the local authority (council) re council tax etc. I contacted them separately & was also a very good service.

I can't answer your passport question sorry.

Take your time and best wishes
