Register a death
By law, you must register the death within 3 months. Do this when you have received the death notification form from the doctor.If a person dies in a hospital or nursing home, the hospital or doctor will give the form to the next-of-kin.A relative by blood, marriage or civil partnership should register the death. You do not need to be next-of-kin to do this.
