TSEM7210 - Deceased persons: initial action by responsible office
TSEM7204 has information to help decide which office is responsible for dealing with the liability to the date of death. That office should take the following action.
Form 133P(X)
Prepare a sub-folder 133P(X) in every case. Use it to contain all relevant papers and to control the actions you take.
Cancel signals
Note your records and cancel any return signal.
Notify other offices
Contact other offices with an active interest in the case and let them know the date of death. If known, also give the name and address of the personal representative.
Interested offices might include
- Debt Management and Banking
- Enforcement & Insolvency Service/Unit
- HMRC Trusts & Estates Office where the deceased was taxed as a settlor
- HMRC Trusts & Estates Inheritance Tax Nottingham. (See TSEM7286, and EM0480 onwards).
If the deceased was self-employed notify NIC&EO Self Employment Group Longbenton on form SED1 (TS50/99 refers).
Note that if the deceased was a contractor or a sub-contractor there is no need to update the CIS Processing Centre as the information should flow over from SA.
Contact the personal representative
TSEM7214 has details of the letter to send to the personal representative.
