Call 0800 802 1800 or email support@wealthify.com. Wealthify is a robo-adviser and will freeze the account on receipt of notification.
You will need the deceased's email address (used as their Wealthify login), full name, date of birth, and date of death. Wealthify will send you a bereavement form and advise on the next steps.
Wealthify will require a certified copy of the death certificate and, for most estates, grant of probate or letters of administration before releasing funds.
Wealthify managed portfolios are typically redeemed and the cash proceeds transferred to the estate bank account. As a robo-adviser, Wealthify does not offer in-specie transfers to individual stock — the portfolio is liquidated.
Have multiple certified copies of the death certificate ready. Banks and financial institutions each require an original or certified copy — you cannot usually pass a single copy between organisations. See our guide to how many death certificates you need.
Wealthify typically takes 4–6 weeks to process a bereavement notification once all required documents have been received.
During this period, accounts or services will typically be frozen until the estate is administered. This means no new transactions can be authorised.
Wealthify is authorised and regulated by the FCA. As a robo-adviser, the bereavement process is straightforward but may take longer than traditional brokers if automated systems need manual override.
Not sure who you still need to tell?
Banks, utilities, DWP, DVLA. In 2 minutes Farra gives you the full list in order, with a tracker so nothing gets missed.
Once Wealthify receives your notification and confirms receipt, the account or service will be frozen and no new transactions will be authorised. Estate administration can then begin.
Wealthify will freeze the account and write to you with the documents required to transfer or encash the investments. You will typically need to provide a grant of probate (or letters of administration) and certified copies of the death certificate before assets can be released to the estate. ISA investments lose their tax-free wrapper on death but may benefit from an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS) allowance for a surviving spouse or civil partner.
Do not delay notifying Wealthify
Direct debits and standing orders may continue to be charged after death. Some organisations treat the estate as the debtor for any charges incurred before notification. Notifying Wealthify promptly protects the estate from unnecessary costs.
There are more people to tell than anyone expects.
Answer a few questions in under 2 minutes and Farra builds your notification plan: every bank, provider and government office to tell, in the right order, with the contact details and a tracker so nothing slips through.
