Write the letter for me

Fill in what you know. We use it to write one letter, and every Email button on these pages opens it ready to send from your own email. Leave anything blank and the letter keeps a gap for you to fill in.

What you type stays on this device. It is not sent to us, and it is cleared when you close this tab.

The letter

Before you get in touch

You can tell Bexley by phone, email or their online form for someone who has passed away. When a home stays empty after someone passes away, it can be exempt from council tax until probate is granted. It helps to have the address and account number ready.

Checked on 29 September 2026 against London Borough of Bexley's own page. Numbers do change now and then, so if one doesn't work, their page is the best place to look.

Other local councils (council tax)

Most of the time this takes goes on working out what the person had and who to call. When you are ready, Inherit Vault is where you can write that down for your own family, kept private until it is needed.
