You do not cancel a household account because of the name

Streaming, a cloud photo album, and a shared mailbox may still be used by the household. Do not cancel them because the name on the subscription has died. First you make a list: which service, who still uses it, and whether it was the deceased's alone. Only what was demonstrably the deceased's alone, and what no one still needs, comes into consideration to be cancelled. The rest stays until the provider says how a name can be changed without shutting the others out. Passwords do not go into a note that heirs can read. Note that the service exists, and who keeps the password outside the file, if that has already been agreed.

A household subscription in one name is not an estate-inventory item with a value. The outstanding instalment on the date of death can be a debt, if the statement names that instalment. Ask for that statement without logging in as the deceased. Opening an account of the deceased in order to watch films or to rescue photos is not a task of the executorship in this piece. Photos that the household still needs you arrange along the route the service describes for relatives, not with a shared password. Copy that route over as the service publishes it, and do not invent a right of your own to log in. Keep the correspondence with the line for that service.

The list names each service separately. A line called all the subscriptions disappears once you know the names. For each service: the user in the household, whether or not it was the deceased's alone, and whether an instalment was outstanding on the date of death. You cancel only when that third column is yes, and only after the route of the service. Ervazo keeps the letter and the reply. It does not send them, and it stores no password. You take a code out of an open field for heirs. The task remains keeping the list, not taking over the account. Services you do not recognise stay a question to the household, not an assumed cancellation.

What the household still uses stays on the list. You do not cancel it only because the invoice stands in the name of the deceased. Only a service that was exclusively the deceased's comes into consideration for cancellation, and then along the route the service itself indicates. Passwords stay outside the file. This is not legal advice. Whether an account may remain, be changed, or stop is confirmed by the service. Whether an outstanding instalment belongs with the debts follows from that service's statement. The notary does not confirm a streaming account. The notary does confirm, if that is in question, who is authorised to write to such a service on behalf of the estate.
