medical aid advice

[Rafael]

Yes, your Adviser should do that on your behalf.

Below is an extract from my documents

As stated by the Medical Schemes Act (Act No 131 of 1998), all medical schemes must provide for continuation of membership when
a principal member retires from employment or in the event of his/her death to allow the surviving beneficiaries to remain or
become members.

The following documentation is required in the event of death:

• Certified copy of death certificate of the principal member, who is deceased
• Certified Copy of ID of deceased principal member
• Certified Copy of ID of new principal member
• Letter from surviving spouse/dependants indicating new principal member(s)
• Banking details of new principal member(s) for contribution collection
• Signed declaration of new principal member(s) (Section 6 of the membership application form)


Hope you find the above useful
