How to Stop Receiving Mail Addressed to a Deceased Person
Dealing with mail addressed to a deceased loved one can be emotionally challenging and logistically frustrating. Whether you’re the Executor of their estate or simply a resident who shared their address, there are steps you can take to minimize the influx of such mail, from registering the deceased on the Deceased Do Not Contact List to requesting mail forwarding or contacting organizations directly to inform them of the death. Remember to handle such mail respectfully, as opening someone else’s mail without legal authorization is a federal offense.
