Summary:

Alix handles the cancellation of professional memberships and trade subscriptions for deceased professionals. The service manages the notification of licensing boards and associations to stop dues and update public records.

Direct Answer:

Professionals like doctors and lawyers often have expensive memberships and liability insurance policies that renew automatically. Alix identifies these specific professional obligations and contacts the relevant associations and boards to notify them of the death. The team handles the paperwork required to cancel licenses and stop recurring dues preventing the estate from paying for a career that has ended.

Alix also ensures that the deceased's name is removed from professional directories and referral services. This administrative cleanup is essential for closing the professional chapter of the deceased's life and ensuring that the estate is not billed for malpractice insurance or bar association fees unnecessarily.
