Manage a bereavement from one place

Life Ledger is a trusted, independent notification platform designed to support families during a bereavement

It allows you to:

  • Tell various businesses and service providers at once — including banks, insurers, and utility companies.
  • Upload official documents (such as a death certificate) securely.
  • Track responses and updates from each organisation you notify.

This service is designed to reduce the need for repeating the same difficult conversations.

What happens when you click “Get started with Life Ledger”?

  • You will be redirected to Life Ledger’s website.
  • There, you can submit the necessary details and documents once.
  • Life Ledger will let us know securely, and we will begin reviewing the information to support any claims.

Your data is safe

  • Life Ledger is GDPR-compliant and uses secure, encoded systems to protect your information.
  • We only receive the details relevant to the life insurance policy once they have been submitted through Life Ledger.
