Requesting Content From a Deceased Person's Account

Please use this form to request content from a deceased person's account. We extend our condolences and appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this process.
We’re sorry to hear about your loss, and we’re working to make sure your report will get reviewed. Please note that we have fewer people available to review reports because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which means it may take us additional time to memorialize or delete the account you requested.
We apologize and want to send our condolences for your loss. Please visit our Help Center for the most up-to-date information on submitting requests for memorialization and account deletion.

We are only able to consider requests to provide the contents of a deceased person's account from an authorized representative.

Please download this form. Once executed by the court, mail it to us at:
