Losing a loved one

We understand that losing a loved one is never easy. You probably have questions about what to do with their Robinhood account.

After a loved one passes away, please contact us at estates@robinhood.com with the following information:

Your information

  • Your name, relationship to the deceased, and your contact information. Let us know your preferred contact time between 9 AM-6 PM ET.
  • A photo or copy of the front and back of your unexpired driver's license, or other government issued form of identification.

Their information

  • Their full legal name, date of birth, and any email accounts they used.
  • A color photo of their death certificate (we can’t accept a black and white photo or a scanned copy). If the certificate has a seal, make sure it’s visible in the photo, as well as all 4 corners of the certificate.
  • Don’t send copies of wills, trusts, or other estate planning documents. If a specific document is required, we’ll request it after our initial review.

This information helps us identify and secure their account as soon as possible.

Note

Robinhood doesn’t provide legal or tax advice. For specific questions, consult a legal or tax professional.
