Who can use a dead person's account?

Hi There,

Nobody can use a dead persons account once the person has been registered as deceased. If there seems to be activity on an account or credit card, or for that matter if anyone has taken out a loan or HP agreements in the deceased name after the date of registering the death, this is an act of fraud! Once the registraition of a death is recorded all accounts in that name will automatically be frozen, its then in the hands of a Solicitor. Hope this helps
