DEATH OF A CONSULTANT

Paparazzi should be notified if a Consultant passes away. Upon confirmation of the Consultant’s death, the Consultant’s account will be deactivated.

In order to transfer the account of a deceased Consultant to another individual, the requirements of Section 4.9 Transfer Upon Death of a Consultant must be met:

4.9 Transfer Upon Death of a Consultant

To affect a transfer upon the death of a Consultant, the claimant will need to provide

the following:

a. Copy of the death certificate;

b. Notarized letter or legal instrument establishing the rightful successor; and

c. Completion of a new Consultant Agreement.

To comply with Section 4.9b, Paparazzi requires legal documentation to transfer the Consultant’s account, which may include an official order from a probate judge that identifies the Consultant's beneficiaries and specifies the distribution of estate assets, including the Consultant’s account. Some states hold “small estate proceedings” or an “affidavit process” which can greatly simplify this process.

Paparazzi will not give legal advice, so questions regarding state laws governing the transfer of account ownership should be directed to an attorney or the court.

A $250 fee must be paid to transfer the Consultant’s account to a new owner (see Section 4.7 Sale, Transfer, or Assignment of a Paparazzi Business or Position).
