What if there is no will – can I still use Settld?

Yes. However, if there is no will, most shareholding registrars will ask a “Next of Kin” to act on behalf of the person who died. Please check who the immediate next of kin should be here, as per the rules of Intestacy.

Do I need the shareholder reference number to use Settld?

This information is not mandatory, but does speed up the process for shareholding registrars if you have it to hand. We do need the deceased’s full name, their registered address on the account, and their date of birth.  However, with shareholding registrars like Link Asset Services, and with Computershare, we will need the name(s) of the company that the shares were held with.

How long will it take for the building society to stop sending mail in the name of the person who died?

Most companies take up to 6 weeks to update their systems. Unfortunately, timeframes are set by each building society, and Settld does not have direct control over this process. Wherever possible, Settld works with companies to provide a better bereavement service, so please let us know if problems persist and we will flag this to the Bank for you.
