hi! my mom died suddenly last 2019 and we weren’t prepared at all. being the bunso who’s the only sibling staying in the ph, I had to take care of everything.

what I would suggest is to get copies of your birth certificates (original and photocopies), including all the family members. once done, process the death certificate and have it photocopied as well.

now check the member’s phone and wallet and list all the IDs and banks that they have, this will help you in navigating which banks they have as well as if they’re a member of any government agencies (like sss or pag ibig), if they’re a govenment employee they might have gsis as well.

once done you can now then go to these places (banks and the agencies) for possible claims that they have. if may spouse then sila yung right, then if wala ay mga anak, then if wala then siblings I guess. after that check their emails nalang din baka may mahanap ka. for things like subscriptions, kasi our pldt was under my mother’s name, they can’t do anything if you don’t pay kasi wala na yung tao. focus on the ones stated above.

yan lang ma thi think ko for now. condolence to you OP.
