What happens to Fiverr balance when the owner dies

Fiverr does not publish a dedicated deceased-account or estate process and handles account matters on a case-by-case basis through Customer Support. The entry point is a support request that reports the death; Fiverr may request a death certificate and documentation showing you are authorized to act for the estate, then decides how the account and any balance are handled. Any cleared earnings balance is recovered separately through the payout provider linked to the account. If the account is disabled, the Payment Terms describe an automatic process under which Fiverr emails withdrawal instructions for any available funds after a 90-day waiting period.

The account's billing history page provides downloadable invoices for completed orders from mid-2021 onward, which the estate can use to inventory the account's activity. For records earlier than mid-2021, or where the estate cannot reach the account, ask Fiverr Customer Support in the same request that reports the death; there is no separate estates channel, so the request is submitted through Customer Support.

No. The Fiverr account is personal to the seller and is not transferable, and the seller level, reviews, and reputation are tied to that individual account and cannot be inherited. A successor cannot continue the business under the deceased seller's standing; only the cash balance can be recovered. Even Team Accounts do not allow admin rights to pass to another member.

Active orders and gigs are tied to the seller and cannot be transferred or fulfilled by the estate. Open orders typically need to be cancelled or refunded to the buyers. Contact Fiverr Customer Support to report the death so in-progress orders can be resolved and to ask about recovering any remaining balance.

Withdraw the cleared, available funds through the payout method already linked to the account — PayPal, a Payoneer account, a bank transfer, or the Fiverr Revenue Card. The minimum withdrawal is $10 USD inside the US and $20 USD outside the US, and withdrawals are final once started. A withdrawal account can be linked to only one Fiverr profile, so use the seller's existing payout method rather than adding a new one.

Fiverr does not publish an inactivity or dormancy fee on a seller's earned balance, and earned revenues do not show a published expiration date. (Fiverr Credits issued by Fiverr are different — those expire three months after receipt.) The practical risk is not a fee but loss of access: an inactive account is deleted after 12 months, and Fiverr requires any balance or earned revenues to be withdrawn or refunded before an account can be deactivated, so the executor should recover the balance promptly.
