Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could advise on the best course of action to get a PO box for the correspondence of a deceased relative's estate notice?
I've looked at Royal Mail, but wondered if anyone had any experience/advice on any others out there?
Thanks.

    Why not use the address of the Executor/s
    I'm a retired IFA who specialised for many years in Inheritance Tax, Wills and Trusts. I cannot offer advice now, but my comments here and on Legal Beagles as Sam101 are just meant to be helpful. Do ask questions from the Members who are here to help.

    Haven't got specific experience but do think it is a good idea - the post office do a free post restante for 3 months

    "P O Box" can only be obtained from Royal Mail.

    You can get mailbox services from other provides such as MBE (Mail Boxes Etc) or virtual office / secretarial service providers.

    Perhaps we were fortunate, but even with two deaths and therefore Gazette notices the only enquiries we received were from 'we'll buy the house right now' companies, and not too many of them!
