Vanguard UK bereavement team

Before you call, what to have ready

Vanguard UK will tell you if they need any documents. Having these to hand helps them find the account.

• The deceased's full name, date of birth and last address
• The date of death
• Account, policy or reference numbers if you can find them (old statements or emails)
• Your relationship to the deceased and your own contact details
• The policy or plan number, and a rough idea of its value
• Somewhere to note any reference number they give you

What happens next

Vanguard UK say to expect a reply within 21-42 working days. If you have not heard back by then, get in touch again with your reference.
