Collecting clothing cash and valuables

Collecting clothing cash and valuables

Cash and valuables are not normally returned by ward staff but will be available for collection by the deceased’s nominated next of kin or legal representative from the relevant office. Our team will arrange an appointment time with you so that any property can be collected.

Please note, property can only be collected by the nominated next of kin, in the hospital records, if they are a direct relative or an Executor of the Will.

Proof of your identity will be required to collect any personal belongings. Legal representatives will need to provide proof of their entitlement and identity, i.e. a copy of the Will and their passport. If you have nominated another person to attend on your behalf, they will need a letter of authority from you and proof of their identity (see next page for an example of a letter of authority).
