INFORMATION ON THE ORDER OF A DECEASED CUSTOMER
We understand how difficult it can be when someone passes away. There are many things to do and sorting out the deceased’s Fishpool order is just one more thing. We hope that the following information will be helpful to you in dealing with the deceased’s order.
The legal bits:
Who can deal with the order of a deceased person?
Legally, there are only two parties who have the right to deal with the property of a deceased person:
The executor(s) named in the will. This person will get a grant of probate.
If the person died without a will, then a relative or another can apply to the court to be named the administrator of the will. This person will get letters of administration.
Either a grant of probate or letters of administration permit the executor or the administrator to deal with the property of the deceased. Simply possessing the death certificate doesn’t convey the right to deal with the estate. Therefore, only the executor or the administrator can make changes to the deceased’s account or his/her order. The person with the death certificate only can’t make any changes.
What if there isn’t an executor or administrator? What happens then?
How you wish to deal with the estate of the deceased person is up to you. If there is no executor or administrator, then we will wait for instructions from your solicitor regarding the deceased person’s order.
Our process:
Once we’ve been notified that we have a deceased person’s order, we’ll request either a copy of the grant of probate or the letters of administration. Once we have confirmed the identity of the executor or the administrator, we’ll comply with their directions for the order.
If there isn’t an executor or administration, then we’ll await instructions from your solicitor.
SECURITY
We would like you to be confident about ordering online, we use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to ensure that your details are safe and information you provide is fully encrypted so that it cannot be read by third parties. Your browser will confirm that you are shopping in a secure environment by showing a locked padlock icon or an image of a key in the bar at the base of your screen.
ORDER CONSENT - CAN AN INDIVIDUAL ACT ON YOUR BEHALF
We understand that sometimes you may wish to name an individual to help you manage the process of your order. At the point of order creation, we will ask you if there is anyone who you would like to give 'consent' to. Consent can also be added at later date in writing or by email from the email address we hold on file.
The individual who is given consent will have the power to act on your behalf. This means they are able to amend contact or delivery information, progress or change an order, or make additional payments. They will not be able to amend any details which fall as part of a finance agreement, as the finance contract remains with the individual who took out the application.
CALL RECORDING
We do not record phone calls.
RETENTION PERIODS
This is the length of time that we will continue to process or store your personal data.
Data about prospective clients: retention for the duration of the enquiry, then one year in case you come back.
Data about clients – 10 year retention – which equates to the length of your warranty period for your purchase and the subsequent potential customer service issues; seven years is the statutory retention for HMRC and accounting purposes.
Marketing purposes – for as long as you consent to receive marketing information
VAT Disability exemptions – seven years for HMRC and accounting purposes
