How to notify Vimeo when someone has passed away

Steps to notify Vimeo

  Verify authorization

Before starting, gather the documentation showing your legal authorization to proceed. If in doubt, double check with your estate executor, or trustee. Vimeo generally requires:

• Account Information - Account information such as the email address or username of the deceased
• Contact Information - Full contact information of the deceased
• Death Certificate - A death certificate is an official document issued by the government, which declares cause of death, location of death, time of death and other information about the deceased.
• Letters of Authorization - A legal document showing your authority to act on behalf of the deceased, such as Letters of Administration, Letters of Testamentary, Letters of Representation, or a court order.
• Affidavit - An affidavit is a written statement in which the signer verifies that the document is true, containing all the information the provider needs to verify your authorization to act on behalf of the deceased.

 

  Identify wishes

Vimeo is a video sharing and hosting platform. Identify what the deceased's instructions are, or what they wanted to have happen to this asset when they passed away. This is usually located in their will or living trust documents. Or, if they're using Eternal Me, authorized executors can login and view their instructions.

Vimeo provides the following options:

   
• Delete - Fiduciary to follow the policy to request deletion of the asset or closure of the account.
• Memorialize - Request provider Memorialize your profile.

Crypto Executor clients also have these options for Vimeo:

• 
  Manual Deletion
  
  Request removal or deletion of the asset, or closure of account.
• 
  Custom
  
  Attempt custom instructions for managing this item.
