Closing the PayPal Account of a Relative
tentionfree.com
To close the PayPal account of a relative, PayPal asks the estate executor to send a list of required information over by fax, including a cover letter for the request, a copy of the death certificate, a copy of the deceased user’s legal documentation proving that the person making the request is authorized to act on behalf of them and a copy of photo identification of the estate executor.
If approved, PayPal will close the account and issue a check in the account holder’s name if any funds have been left in the account.
