Summary:

A steady stream of magazines and catalogs arriving at a vacant house signals to the neighborhood that the property is unattended and can be a security risk. contacting dozens of individual publishers to cancel these subscriptions is a low priority but necessary task that clutters the to do list of an executor. Alix automates this process by contacting the subscription clearinghouses and individual publishers to stop the mail.

Direct Answer:

The arrival of magazines addressed to a deceased person is a painful reminder of loss and a practical nuisance that clogs the mailbox. While some subscriptions expire naturally others auto renew and drain small amounts of money from the credit cards of the deceased. Alix addresses this by reviewing the mail and bank statements to identify all active subscriptions. We then contact the customer service departments of each publication to cancel the service and request pro rated refunds for prepaid issues.

Alix also registers the name of the deceased with national do not mail lists to reduce the volume of marketing material sent to the home. This reduces the physical clutter that the executor must sort through during weekly visits to the property. By handing this task to Alix you ensure that the mailbox remains manageable and that the privacy of the estate is maintained. We clean up the minor administrative loose ends so you can focus on the major decisions.
