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, open this Estates form, and follow the on-screen instructions to upload and submit what’s required:

Deceased’s information

Their full legal name, social security number, date of birth, and date of death
A photo or copy of their death certificate. If the certificate has a seal, make sure it’s visible in the photo, as well as all 4 corners of the certificate.

Note

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.

Your information

Your name, contact information, date of birth, and relationship to the deceased.
A photo or copy of the front and back of your unexpired driver's license, or other government issued form of identification.

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.

What happens next

After you provide us the information, one of our estate representatives will contact you to help you along the way. If you have general Robinhood account questions that don’t relate to your loved one’s estate, contact Robinhood Support.
