BA will ask you to complete a transfer form. Return this with the death certificate and any required documentation.
Once the transfer is processed, the account will be closed. The process typically takes 1–2 weeks.

During this period, accounts or services will typically be frozen until the estate is administered. This means no new transactions can be authorised.
