What happens to a chess.com account when the user dies?

Are they any policies regarding the demise of a user like we have on other social networking sites?

I know that chess.com reserves the right to delete an account that has been inactive for an extended period of time: but just how long is "an extended period of time?"

They have no reason to delete inactive accounts that I can see. Any games will time out within about 3 months, even if the member has a lot of vacation built up.

Any subscription will continue until the credit card is cancelled.

If someone is an admin of a group or club, other members can get help from support to replace them as admin.

What else is there? Do you want a monument?

Chess.com offers funeral arrangements for the same price as a diamond account.  Is there anyone in particular that you would like their demise to come sooner than expected.?

 lol.

I imagine chess.com would close an account rather than delete it.

If Asger Hartsteen's account were deleted, at least three groups would be upset. Probably upset enough to at least pay for the lowest level premium membership in his memory.

For other sites who send email (e.g. Amazon, who my mother was a customer of for many years) closed her account after I informed them of her death. (Rather than let her email bounce I looked after it for a while; she died suddenly and not all her regular contacts knew she was even ill.)
