Accounts are forfeited under the official terms, 6-step process, and 5 required documents.
What happens to a Peacock account when someone dies →Peacock is NBCUniversal's streaming platform offering NBC shows, Universal films, live sports and original content on three paid tiers. An account holds profiles, watchlists, viewing history and, on Premium Plus, downloaded content.
Under NBCUniversal Media's terms, a Peacock account closes when the holder dies and nothing in it passes to anyone. NBCUniversal Media allows no transfer of the account while the holder is alive.
What happens to Peacock at death
- Forfeited at death
A Peacock account is a paid streaming subscription with no owned media library, and it is non-transferable, so access ends at death and there is nothing to inherit.1
Naming who acts after a death
- Designation
There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a Peacock account; the subscription is a non-assignable, non-transferable right to access the service.1
