Farra is a digital assistant that helps you manage death admin in the UK. We guide you through everything from registering a death and applying for probate to notifying banks and closing accounts—calmly, clearly, and step by step.

What should I do first when someone dies?

Start by getting a medical certificate of cause of death. This allows you to register the death and begin making arrangements like the funeral.

What if I feel overwhelmed?

That’s completely normal. Farra is designed to break the process down into manageable steps. You can take your time, come back later, and share tasks with others.

Probate is usually needed if the person owned property or had bank accounts or investments in their sole name. If everything was jointly held or of low value, you may not need it.

Who do I need to notify after someone dies?

Start with government departments using Tell Us Once, then contact banks, insurers, utility providers, landlords, subscription services, and any organisations linked to the person.
