Close Account of RL Spouse

[Moonshade Pastorelli]

My RL husband passed away over a year ago, and he did not close his SecondLife account while he was ill nor did he bequeath the account to me. What must I do/who do I contact to close his SL account?

I am sorry for your loss.  Have you had a look here?

Cindy is absolutely, legally correct.  But, while I don't usually recommend doing something technically against the rules...

If you have his password, you can log in as him and simply cancel his account.  See this link: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/premium-membership-r346/#Section__7

If the account owns a significant amount of Linden Dollars, you may wish to convert them back to $US dollars and transfer them out of Second Life.  Assuming your husband had a PayPal account and it is still active, you can do that (prior to canceling his account!) by following this procedure: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/buying-and-selling-linden-dollars-r46/  (What is a "significant amount" of $L?  The exchange rate is about $L250 = $1USD.)

Can you exchange large amounts of Lindens like that even if you don't have a premium account?

being premium isn't needed in case of using the Lindex and Proces Credit, only having a valid payment method and paypal/skrill for the proces credit.
