How can I take over payments of an account for a deceased relative?

I would like to take over an account to ensure the Broadband doesn't get turned off if BT are contacted by solicitors informing them the account holder has deceased.

I have the login for MyBT and the current payment method is Cash & cheque. I can therefore pay the next bill online via CC.

If I keep paying will the broadband stay active?

How can I change account holder details?
