Transfer of balance after death is not guaranteed under Fiverr International Ltd.'s terms. Lifetime planning offers a more reliable way to manage and share balance while the account is active.
How to protect your Fiverr balance
6 lifetime planning steps for your Fiverr balance:
Family sharing
Fiverr has no family-sharing or pooling feature, and the account is personal and non-transferable — the Community Standards prohibit buying or selling Fiverr accounts and prohibit creating a profile with your credentials for anyone other than yourself. Fiverr Team Accounts let a freelancer add team members, but the Team Account article states that the admin cannot transfer admin rights to a member and that if the admin leaves, the entire team is deactivated and all members lose access, so a Team Account is not a path to inherit a freelancer's individual standing. The only way to realize earnings is to withdraw the cleared, available funds to a linked payout method.
Should you save your passwords for your family?
Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:
- Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
- It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
- Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).
Frequently asked questions
Record the email address on your Fiverr account and the payout method linked to it where your executor can find them, and withdraw your available earnings regularly so little is left stranded. Download your invoices and activity reports periodically, since Fiverr cannot reissue them once an account is deleted. Note that your freelancer level, reviews, and active gigs cannot be inherited — only the money can be recovered — and leave instructions to withdraw the earnings before closing the account, since an account holding earned revenues cannot be deactivated until the funds are withdrawn or refunded.
Recording that a Fiverr account exists, alongside other accounts, gives a fiduciary the information needed to reach the operator through its official process.
Fiverr does not support beneficiary designations. Unlike financial accounts, there is no way to name a beneficiary on this type of account.
