Cancel Direct Debits After Death

Direct debits and standing orders should be cancelled to prevent ongoing charges to the estate.

How to identify direct debits

  • Request a list from the bank
  • Review recent bank statements
  • Check paperwork for regular payments

Cancellation process

Contact each service provider to cancel. Keep some essential services (utilities, insurance) running until the property is sold or transferred.
