How do I initiate a Deceased Case for a Ireland State Savings customer?

To initiate a Deceased Case, a document notifying us that a holder has died is required.

  1. If the deceased customer held only Prize Bonds and no other Ireland State Savings products then a letter notifying us of the holder's death along with the documents listed below should be sent to: Ireland State Savings, Prize Bonds, Fexco Centre, Killorglin, FREEPOST, Co. Kerry, V93 WN9T.

  2. For all other holders a Notification of Death Form must be completed and returned to: Ireland State Savings, GPO, FREEPOST, Dublin 1, D01 F5P2.

This Notification of Death form is also available at your local Post Office.

Letter or Notification of Death Form should be returned with the following:

  • An original or certified copy of the Death Certification or Coroner's certificate

  • Last Will & Testament: where there is a will available, the original or a certified copy of this document should be enclosed to verify who is/are the executor(s) of the estate.

On receipt of these documents, we will conduct a full search of our records based on the information supplied. We will respond in writing as soon as possible enclosing the relevant forms which should be completed and signed by the nearest living relative (Next-of-Kin) or Legal Personal Representative(s) as declared in documents governing the estate.
