Bereavement

[Spedz]

I am having a problem filling in the form to notify of a bereavement. It only makes sense if you want to close the account, but I want to transfer it to a spouse. it is not my account, but the account holder is 90 years old and blind, therefore making it difficult for him to phone up himself.  The  bereavement line were very unhelpful and there is no way to email for help or useful chat bot. I have managed to change or cancel everything else today, but have been defeated by the BT website or phone line

I have asked a moderator to assist. One of them should post here.

Sorry to ask but am confused is the account holder the 90yr  old and still alive?  If so who are you transferring account to?

[Spedz]

The Account holder has died, but her spouse who is 90 and blind wants to continue using the account. Sorry for the confusion.
