Create an account

There are five types of customer accounts for The Gazette. If you're unsure about which account best suits your needs, or need any further assistance, please contact us.

Account to place a deceased estates notice

Please note: solicitors or chartered accountants placing deceased estates notices should instead create an account as an authorised notice placer.

You can create an account to place a deceased estates notice if you are an executor of a will or a personal representative who is responsible for managing someone's estate.

Placing this notice:

  • demonstrates that enough effort has been made to find creditors
  • protects you from being personally responsible for money owed to any unidentified creditors
