I own a flat which is rented to an old man with no will or next of kin. What will I have to do when he dies in terms of paperwork, getting rid of his possessions etc? Is there anything I can do in advance to prepare?
You'll need to follow specific procedures when your tenant passes away:
- ****tify the local coroner or medical examiner.
- Inform the police to handle the situation.
- Contact the public administrator in your area to manage the deceased's estate.
May I know your location to provide more specific guidance?
