Thanks Andrew, I hope we can all band together and help his family though this.
I know I'm banging on about it but I just want to reitterate to everyone again how hard it is for families when assets are frozen. When someone passes the banks legally have to freeze all accounts in the name of the person who has passed. Business, personal, credit cards - everything. They don't get unfrozen until the bank has had certification of their passing and has assessed the Will. If there isn't a Will or if the funds held are significant it gets very complicated and can take weeks - this process of course not even commencing until you have the certificate and signed and witnessed documents and you're in a headspace to actually deal with the bank. Chris' family will be doing it incredibly tough and financial stress is the last thing they need.
