How To Claim Dead Relative Money from MPESA Account from Safaricom
Upon receiving notification of death of a Safaricom subscriber ,the MPESA account is frozen to prevent any dealings to protect the deceased person. A relative or next of kin can claim the money before its forwarded to UFAA.
This is the procedure
Visit Safaricom Customer Care Shop and start the claim process ad follows:
Documents
For M-PESA accounts having more than Kshs. 30,000
- Copy of the Death Certificate
- Copy of ID of Next of Kin
- Grant of probate; where an M-PESA subscriber dies and has written a will
- Letters of Administration; where a person dies without a will.
For M-PESA accounts having less than Kshs. 30,000
- Affidavit administered by a Commissioner for Oaths and sworn by the Claimnant
- Death Certificate (Burial permit will NOT be accepted).
- Letter from Provincial Administration of the deceased’s area of residence or letters of administration
- Next of Kin’s ID and copy to be retained.
However in cases of dispute, the next of kin will be required to provide Letters of administrations or grant of probate.
Incase you the claimnant gets late and you find that the money have already been submitted to UFAA , you'll then have to approach the UFAA for help.
Good luck!
