Everything, by topic
Registering the death, what has to happen in the first week, and the words people reach for when someone has died — including the traditions of the faith the family keeps.
Who needs to know, in what order, and what each one asks for — banks and building societies, the DWP, the DVLA, councils, utilities and online accounts.
What stops, what continues, what can be claimed, and what has to be paid back — plus the tax the estate owes and the tax it can reclaim.
Whether a grant is needed at all, how to apply for one, what an executor is actually responsible for, and what happens when there is no will.
The nil-rate bands and what reduces them, and what happens to a home — jointly owned, tenanted, leasehold or being sold.
Arranging and paying for a funeral, and the cases that don't follow the ordinary path — deaths abroad, businesses, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Every guide names the sources it relies on and the date it was last checked. They are information, not advice — for a disputed will or a complicated estate, speak to a solicitor.
