Naming who acts after a death
- Legacy contact
The account owner can name a legacy contact in Account Settings to take over ownership of the Wix account after the owner's death; the contact has no access while the owner is alive.1
Wix publishes its own process for a deceased person's account: Legacy contact request to Wix Customer Care; a request goes in through Wix's online form. Wix lets the account holder name, in advance, who may act on the account after a death, through Legacy contact.
