Program & Your Role

Which account you are writing about, and the capacity you are writing in.

In what capacity are you writing?*

FREE & PRIVATE: This form is free—no account or credit card required. Your document contents and generated PDF never leave your browser—SimplyTrust does not transmit or store them. Contact details you provide (name, email, phone, state) are transmitted only to send the updates you agree to receive at download. You are responsible for saving your completed document.

SELF-HELP SERVICE: SimplyTrust provides a self-help document preparation service. We are not a law firm and cannot provide legal advice, select forms for you, or tell you how to complete forms. Our role is limited to providing a platform where you input your own information into document templates.

NOT LEGAL ADVICE:This document was created entirely based on your selections. SimplyTrust does not review, analyze, or verify your entries, nor do we verify your identity, capacity, or authority to act. You are solely responsible for determining whether this document meets your needs and for completing all required execution formalities (signatures, witnesses, notarization, or recording) in accordance with your state's laws. For any legal questions, consult a licensed attorney in your state.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a written request a survivor sends to an online program — an airline, bank rewards program, streaming service, cloud provider, gaming platform, or registrar — asking it to transfer, disclose, or preserve a deceased person's account or its value. It states the facts, encloses the documents the program needs, and makes a firm request. It does not guarantee any outcome.

It works for programs whose death handling we have verified. Select a program to see whether a letter is available and what it can request. Bank and brokerage accounts are handled through the Letter of Instruction instead.

No. It never asks for a password or login — only for identifiers that help the program find the account. Requesting the asset through the program is the alternative to sharing a deceased person's credentials.

What Is a Digital Assets Recovery Letter?

When someone dies, the miles, points, balances, purchased libraries, and account contents held with online programs don't transfer automatically — and many programs treat them as forfeited unless a survivor asks. This letter is the written request that starts that conversation.

Each program handles death differently: some have a deceased-accounts channel, some review requests case by case, some only respond to a firm written ask. The letter is addressed to the right channel, requests exactly what the program can act on, and encloses the documents that program requires.

Select the program to prepare a letter tailored to how it handles a deceased account — the request, the enclosures, and, where it applies, a reference to your state's fiduciary-access-to-digital-assets law.
