What happens to Fiverr balance when the owner dies

Fiverr does not publish one. A review of all 309 published English Help Center articles in September 2026 found no deceased-user, bereavement, or estate procedure, and Fiverr 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 earnings are handled. If the account has been disabled, the Payment Terms set a 90-day safety period measured from the last cleared payment, conditioned on full verification of account ownership and Fiverr's approval.

Invoices for completed orders are available on the account's billing history page, where they can be filtered and downloaded individually or as a CSV report or a zip of PDF files, and the Earnings page can email an activity report covering all account transactions. Where an invoice is not available for download, Fiverr directs the request to Customer Support with the order numbers, the timeframe, and the original invoice number. There is no separate estates channel, so the request is submitted through Customer Support. Download what the estate needs before the account is deleted, because Fiverr states it cannot reissue invoices afterward.

No. The Fiverr account is personal to the freelancer and is not transferable — the Community Standards prohibit offers to sell or buy Fiverr accounts and prohibit creating a Fiverr profile with your personal information or credentials for anyone other than yourself. The freelancer level, reviews, Success Score, and reputation are tied to that individual account and cannot be inherited. A successor cannot continue the business under the deceased freelancer's standing; only the money can be recovered. Team Accounts do not change this: Fiverr states the admin cannot transfer admin rights to a member, and if the admin leaves, the team is deactivated and members lose access.

Active orders and gigs are tied to the freelancer and cannot be transferred or fulfilled by the estate. Open orders typically need to be cancelled or refunded to the clients. Contact Fiverr Customer Support to report the death so in-progress orders can be resolved and to ask about the remaining earnings. Note that an order still in the safety clearance period has not cleared, so cancelled or disputed orders may reduce what ultimately becomes available.

Fiverr publishes a minimum per payout method — $1 USD for PayPal, $20 USD for a bank transfer through Payoneer, $10 USD for a Payoneer account, and $30 USD for the legacy Fiverr Revenue Card — and caps a single withdrawal at $5,000 USD, though multiple withdrawals can be initiated for larger amounts. Withdrawals are final and cannot be reversed. A payout account can be linked to only one Fiverr profile. Fiverr also states that if an account is disabled and the remaining balance is below the payout provider's minimum, the funds cannot be withdrawn.

Fiverr does not publish an inactivity or dormancy fee on a freelancer's earned revenues, and earned revenues carry no published expiration date. Fiverr Credits are different — those are promotional credits that expire three months after receipt, cannot be withdrawn or transferred, and are forfeited if the account is deactivated or suspended. The practical risk on earnings is not a fee but loss of access: an account deactivated for 12 months is deleted, and an account holding a balance or earned revenues cannot be deactivated until those funds are withdrawn or refunded, so the executor should raise the balance with Customer Support promptly.
