I'm recently bereaved; how can I handle the car-related matters of my loved one?

• Updated

To manage car-related matters after the bereavement of a loved one, we suggest that you start by finding important documents like the insurance policies and vehicle registration documents.

You’ll also need to notify the DVLA about the passing and contact the car insurance provider to update or cancel the policy. If there's an outstanding loan, you’ll be able to discuss options with the lender.

This process may be emotionally challenging, so please don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family or professionals.
