    One of my friends asked me this question "What will happen to adsense account after payee death ?"

    I couldn't reply him certain reply

    This question made me confused and ask my self this questions :

    - google close the account after cheques not cleared ?
    - can one of payee family inherit the account ?
    - can one of payee family clear the cheque with authorization after death ?

    I hope one of DP members can find the answer ...................

    I had seen such a thread before maybe you can do a search on DP. Alternatively send an email to Adsense for an official reply. Quite strange though, I really doubt any of us here are that old to think of death :)

    Probably the Account can be transfered to any member of the family by submitting proper documents.
    What about accidents? :p

    You will have to email the Google AdSense Support Team and ask them directly. I doubt it very much anyone here will be able to reply since that's a pretty rare case.

    Here is one answer - be sure that someone (spouse, etc) knows your login information. You could even put it in a safe deposit box or similar.

    i agree that there is no certain age for death and it can come to anyone anytime. however, there is average life expectancy and i believe thats what wisdomtool was referring to. i do not know of any 20 or 30 year old person buying any insurance to cover funeral expense. this type of insurance is targeted toward older people who are approaching the finish line based on national average life expectancy. just my 2 cents

    I think no one can get back that ac and adsense will hold all the payments.
    But better to ask this question to adsense support team ( who is not replying my e-mails)

    I think it worth to ask Adsense this question nobody know tomorrow...

    ..it can happen anytime, nobody know the actual time.

    Money goes to estate. Estate goes to benefactors. Adsense works the same way as any other paycheck, in this sense. This isn't done from the adsense side, but rather from the estate side.

    The legal hierarchy I believe goes 1) spouse. 2) Parents 3) children 4) sibling 5) closest next of kin

    Also, the account itself just sits. If the website goes away, the account stops making money, but it just sits. It's like an email address that you never access. It still exists, it just doesn't do anything

    What if no one is aware of your Internet ventures? It's safe to assume that my account will definitely continue paying to an inexistent bank account. :D
