Legal Obligations After the Death of a Loved One

31.10.2024 | Polish competition authority

The death of a close person requires handling their consumer affairs and legal matters, including closing bank accounts and terminating contracts.


Dealing with the death of a loved one involves various legal and administrative tasks, starting with obtaining a death certificate necessary for handling matters like funeral benefits and notifying employers.

It is crucial to close the deceased's bank accounts and terminate contracts with telecom providers, energy suppliers, and other service providers, ensuring any long-term commitments are settled.

Preparing a contingency envelope with essential information and documents can facilitate post-death arrangements and should be entrusted to a reliable person, family member, friend, lawyer, or doctor.

Guidance on settling the deceased's obligations, handling official procedures, accessing entitled benefits, and organizing a contingency envelope can be found in our publication.
