Roblox Corporation's terms state that accounts are forfeited when the account holder dies. Lifetime planning is the only path to extracting value from the account before that happens.

How to protect your Roblox accounts

7 lifetime planning steps for your Roblox accounts:

1
If you are a parent managing a minor's Roblox account through the verified-parent dashboard, record which adult is the linked parent and identify a successor parent who could re-verify (government-issued ID or credit card, must be 18 or older) and re-link to the child's account. For children under 13, any future deletion request must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian.
2
If you own Communities (groups): transfer ownership to a trusted person now. Both current owner and recipient need active Roblox Premium and the recipient must have been in the group for at least 7 days. The transfer is not reversible. Communities can hold games and Robux funds, making this critical for creator estates; if your account is terminated without transferring, the Community becomes ownerless.
3
For created experiences: know that a place file can be saved out of Roblox Studio and republished from another account while logged into the original account, and that Roblox documents an experience-ownership-transfer flow at https://create.roblox.com/docs/projects/experience-ownership-transfer for moving an experience between accounts or groups you own. Make sure your executor (or a co-developer) knows the sign-in credentials and this process, because it is the only way to preserve your creative work outside the original account.
4
For DevEx-eligible creators: cash out Earned Robux on a regular cadence. DevEx requires the account holder to submit the request personally and pass identity verification; the owner's name must match across the DevEx request, the Tipalti portal, the tax form, and the bank account. No published mechanism allows an estate to cash out Earned Robux, and creators 13-17 need a parent/guardian to complete tax documentation.
5
Keep your Robux balance low. Robux is non-transferable and forfeited on account deletion, so spend or cash out (via DevEx for Earned Robux) rather than accumulating a balance.
6
Understand the one narrow transfer exception in the Terms: an account may be transferred "in connection with the sale of the right to earn Robux from the sale of Virtual Content created by that Account, pursuant to a valid written agreement." This is narrow and not marketed as an estate pathway, but it may be relevant for creator estates with ongoing revenue-generating experiences.
7
Premium membership is non-transferable and auto-renews until cancelled; no refunds on cancellation. If Premium is tied to a Community ownership transfer or a future DevEx cash-out, plan around that requirement.

Family sharing

Roblox accounts are non-transferable. There is no family sharing, library sharing, or multi-account access feature. Parents can verify their identity (government-issued ID or credit card) and link to their child's account through the Parental Controls dashboard at https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/30428310121620-Parental-Controls-Overview, which provides ongoing oversight (screen time, spending limits and notifications, content maturity level, communication management, block/report connections), but this is parental oversight, not shared ownership. Memberships and possessions are non-transferable between accounts. There is no mechanism for multiple people to share a game library or avatar items across accounts.

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).

An inventory listing the Roblox account lets a fiduciary identify it and act on it through the operator's official channels.

Roblox does not offer beneficiary designations, so there is no program-level mechanism for directing accounts to a specific person at death.
