Has anyone organised a utilities account transfer for a deceased estate?
Short story is I'm handling it for my grandparents, both live in the same house but one passed. The one that passed is the only name on the account.
I'm going to be switching providers anyway to the other g-parent, would it just be easier to let the new company handle the transfer instead of having to close the existing account? Also the current company never set up a concession for the eligible deceased owner, any ideas whether they'd be able to retroactively apply it now to ease the financial burden?
I'm sorry to say that canceling a dead man's TPG internet service was very difficult. Good luck.
