What to do when a property owner passes away

We are here to support you

If you have lost a loved one recently, we understand it is a difficult and emotional time for all, which is why we have made it easy for you to notify us of the deceased estate so we can update or finalise the account.

What do I need to do?

There are a number of ways in which you can notify us of a deceased estate. The easiest option is to visit Australian Death Notification Service (ADNS). Find out more below on how to access.

Alternatively, you can use our online form or call us on 1300 657 657.
