Death of a client in New Zealand

The cancellation of New Zealand benefits and pensions on the death of a client follows normal procedures.

International Services receives reports from SWIFTT when a New Zealand benefit or pension is cancelled for clients who were also receiving a Maltese pension.

International Services will send the following information to the Maltese authorities:

• the clients name
• the date of death and
• the name and address of the administrator of the estate

The executor of the client's estate will need to contact the Maltese authorities directly if they require any details of the Maltese pension.

Note the executor of the estate should be added to the client's record using the SBFTZ screen in SWIFTT so International Services can advise the Maltese authorities.
