What are the formalities after death?
Post-death formalities can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the deceased's situation (married, single, with or without children), place of residence, etc.
Some of the most common steps :
Declaration of death
It is necessary to get a declaration of death and present it at the town hall of the deceased's residence following the death.
Funeral arrangements
Once you have been informed of the death and taken the first administrative steps, you need to choose a funeral director who will take care of all the funeral arrangements.
Obtaining an act of death
Once the death has been declared, it is possible to obtain an act of death, which will be required for certain procedures.
Inform the relevant organizations
It's important to notify the organizations with which the deceased was in contact, such as the pension fund, the Social Security system, the mutual insurance company, and so on.
Estate formalities
Managing the deceased's estate
An inventory must be taken of the deceased's property and debts, and any missing information must be researched.
Settling debts and receivables
It is necessary to settle all debts and claims of the deceased.
Transfer of bank accounts
If the deceased had bank accounts in a different bank from the one where the heirs have their account, it is possible to request the transfer of the accounts.
Transfer of assets to heirs
Once all the post-death formalities have been completed, the deceased's assets can be passed on to his or her heirs.
Apply for financial assistance
This list is not exhaustive and other post-death formalities may also be required. In the event of death, it's important to find out about the formalities involved to settle the deceased's affairs and last wishes.
To do this, the deceased's next of kin can contact the town hall in their commune of residence to declare the death and obtain an act of death. This act will be needed to deal with the administrative formalities linked to the death of the deceased.
In addition, the deceased's next of kin should contact various administrations and organizations to update the necessary documents, such as vehicle registration documents, insurance policies and bank accounts. The many steps involved can be complex, requiring in-depth knowledge of administrative procedures.
