Things to remember

If you move out, remember to inform:

The bank and all credit companies or anyone you have a hire purchase agreement with
Your doctor, dentist, and any other health workers
Your child’s school (if you have one)
The water, gas, electricity and telephone companies
The post office – if you need your mail to be redirected.
The company you have your buildings and/or contents insurance with.

Will
If you have a will which leaves all your worldly possessions to your ex-partner and you no longer want this to happen, remember to destroy your will. Do this even if you are not yet ready to make a new one. If a solicitor drew the will up for you, inform him or her, so that they know that the will has been revoked.

Private Pension and Life Insurance
If you have nominated your partner to receive death benefits from your pension, or the pay out from a life insurance policy, you probably want to change this Call the companies concerned and discuss the situation.
