Notification in the event of death

In the event of death, the family has to notify this to a number of institutions and organisations including :
the employer or the ONEM (National Employment Office);
the bank;
the owner of the property rented by the deceased;
the family allowance fund (so the child may receive family benefits increased to the rate for orphans);
the mutual insurance company (which may contribute to the funeral expenses);
the trade union (which may contribute to the funeral expenses);
the insurance companies;
for self-employed people, services such as the commercial court, the taxation authority, the VAT department, the social insurance fund for self-employed persons.
This list is not an exhaustive one and has to be completed in the light of the deceased person's specific circumstances.
