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

There is no online form, but you can download their notification form and email it, post it or take it to a branch. For £50,000 or more with Skipton, they need probate or letters of administration. The other numbers cover mortgages, financial advice, wills and funeral plans.

Checked on 27 September 2026 against Skipton Building Society's own page. Numbers do change now and then, so if one doesn't work, their page is the best place to look.

Other building societies and savings

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.

If a number doesn't work, please let us know and we'll put it right the same day.
