The beneficiary of a deceased PPL performer has now passed away; what happens now?

If the beneficiary did not transfer the rights prior to their death, and the rights formed part of their own estate, PPL will ask for the same type of information and documentation as for a deceased performer (that is, legal probate court documents for the deceased beneficiary, etc.).

If the beneficiary disposed of the rights prior to their death, PPL should have been informed at the relevant time and provided with evidence of the transfer. If PPL was not informed of any such transfer, this information will now need to be provided to PPL.

Please contact PPL’s Member Services team on 020 8068 1054 or via email at memberservices@ppluk.com and we will assist you with the process to update the account.
