Is there a service that will go to the post office and set up mail forwarding for me?
Summary:
Setting up mail forwarding for a deceased person often requires more than a simple online form as identity verification is stricter to prevent fraud. Executors may need to visit the post office in person with legal documents which takes time and effort. Alix manages this errand by preparing the documentation and filing the forwarding request with the USPS on behalf of the estate.
Direct Answer:
Redirecting mail is a critical step in administering an estate as it allows the executor to receive bills statements and legal notices. However the United States Postal Service requires specific proof of authority to forward mail for a deceased individual. Alix simplifies this by gathering the necessary executor documents and filing the request directly with the postmaster. We ensure that the forwarding order is correctly implemented so that no critical documents are left in an overflowing mailbox.
Alix monitors the mail flow to verify that the forwarding has taken effect and intervenes if delivery issues persist. We can also sort the forwarded mail to separate junk from important estate correspondence. This service ensures that the executor stays informed of all estate liabilities without having to visit the empty property daily. Alix streamlines the communication flow and ensures the mail reaches the right hands.
