How to Delete a Deceased Loved One’s Account

Deleting your loved one’s Indeed account can be part of an executor’s duties, especially if you’re trying to clean up their online presence.

But how does it work when your loved one hasn’t given you a password manager or other way to access their accounts?

Step 1: Get a Death Certificate.

A death certificate is an official document that provides evidence of the time, place, and cause of an individual’s death.

You’ll need more than one to manage your finances, transfer titles, complete home sales, and do other things like closing your Indeed account.

If you have not made funeral arrangements for your loved one, ask the funeral director who is helping your family how to obtain a death certificate or other.

Step 2: Submit a Request

Here’s how to navigate the Indeed system to reach a customer service professional:

Submit request>Account>Other>Do you still have questions?

Complete the section “What should we know?”

Copy/paste the letter into “What should we know?” Make the appropriate changes regarding the information needed.

Click on Desktop, Mobile or Tablet.

Upload a scan of the death certificate.

Step 3: Click “Send Email.”

Companies like Indeed do not require a scanned copy of a death certificate to meet account requirements.

Without a death certificate, Indeed will set your loved one’s bio to private but cannot allow account closure.

Thank you for your time and help.

Regards,
