What happens to TaskRabbit earnings when the owner dies

Owed earnings are money TaskRabbit may still owe the Tasker for completed work, so they are a debt the estate may seek to recover. TaskRabbit does not document a specific procedure for this, so the estate must reach support through the web request form, provide proof of death and proof of authority over the estate, and follow TaskRabbit's case-by-case review. TaskRabbit pays Taskers by direct deposit through Stripe, and a payment is recorded only when paid (not when invoiced), so recently completed tasks may still be owed.

Not automatically. The Global Terms of Service (Section 23) state that you "may not assign or transfer the Agreement without our prior written approval," and "any assignment in violation of this Section 23 shall be null and void." There is no documented beneficiary designation and no self-service transfer. Continuing to operate the account would require TaskRabbit's prior written approval, which is not part of any published estate process.

TaskRabbit does not publish a required-document list for deceased-Tasker requests. Estate claims of this kind typically require a certified death certificate, documentation showing authority to act for the estate (such as Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration), the email address on the account, and photo identification for the requester. Because there is no published procedure, confirm the exact documents directly with TaskRabbit support.

TaskRabbit pays Taskers only by direct deposit to an active checking account, processed through Stripe (usually finishing in about 2 to 4 business days). Funds already paid out are no longer with TaskRabbit — they went to the checking account on file, which is where the estate should look for paid earnings. For unpaid amounts, the estate contacts TaskRabbit support about owed earnings; downloading the account's Transaction History (CSV or PDF) shows completed tasks and what was paid versus pending.
