What happens to Squarespace at death

Case by case

A relative or the executor requests access to the site, and Squarespace reviews the request. The access it describes is billing access: enough to keep the site running by updating the payment method, or to cancel it with its connected domains and Google Workspace.1, 2

Naming who acts after a death

Designation

Squarespace has no setting for naming who acts on the account after a death. Only the current owner can transfer a site, and after a death a relative or executor requests access through a form.2, 1

Squarespace publishes its own process for a deceased person's account: Submit a request about a deceased customer's account; a request goes in through Squarespace's online form. There is no way to name a beneficiary or successor on a Squarespace account.
