If the member dies

  • Tell us whenever you are ready. There is no form to race to.
  • The plan can end from the date of death. Collections stop once we know, and the minimum term does not apply.
  • These moments are handled personally, family by family, by the Kinkeeper the member knew and the founders. Not by a process.

If the person paying dies

  • The plan does not end with them. For 30 days visits carry on at Kinship's cost, and chip-ins from family and friends carry on as normal.
  • During that time we talk to the family about whether someone would like to take the plan on.
  • If nobody does, the plan ends after the 30 days with the ordinary refunds, and nothing more is taken from the card or the estate.

What the family is asked for

As little as possible. The Kinkeeper already knows the member and the family. Where there is a death certificate we will ask for it at some point, not on the first call.

Prices in naira are quoted with their date because they move. Where a figure comes from a commercial provider, the source is described rather than named, and nothing on this page recommends a provider.

This page is information, not advice. Kinship wrote it from the sources listed above and checked it on the date shown. It is not medical, legal, financial or insurance advice, and it does not take account of any one person's circumstances. Decisions about treatment belong with the person and their doctor; decisions about money, insurance or immigration with the person and a qualified adviser. Our platform terms apply.
