Tell us about a bereavement

We're very sorry to hear about your loss and we're here to support you at this difficult time.

How the forms work

You can use the forms on this page to do the following:

  • Add executor's details for the account
  • Change the account name details
  • Close the account.

The forms are simple and should only take a few minutes to complete.

We also accept notifications from Life Ledger. This is a free death notification service that helps simplify the administrative process. The platform allows you to contact all companies connected with the deceased, Southern Water included, thus removing the need to have the same difficult conversation over and over again.

If you need any extra advice or support on filling out these forms or telling us about a bereavement, you can call us on 0330 303 0368 and speak to one of our team.

What happens once we've been notified?

Bills will be issued as normal until the closure of the account. The balance doesn't need to be paid by the Executor and is only payable by the estate of the Executor once probate is issued (if applicable).

We've partnered with Phillips and Cohen Associates who specialise in Deceased Account Management. Where appropriate, they'll engage with the Executor/solicitors who are managing the estate. They will also be on hand to answer any questions and offer specialised support.
