Unless you have instructions otherwise I believe your bank account would be frozen.i have automatic payments linked to my card but it will eventually expire
That is what I have done. I prepared someone I trust, made him an Admin, gave him complete access to the domain registrar, host, root, xenforo.com and other things. I know he is versed in the site functions and more. On the phone we talked as we logged into WHM, Cpanel, FTP...I would ask an existing member you can trust to run it. In fact I have already broached the subject because you need to know they are prepared to take it on.
I need to know it will be looked after, I will be checking in every now and again.
Make a thread and ask for staff.I need to deal with this. On one forum there isn't really anyone I could ask to take over (at the moment) - needs to be someone younger and regular IMO. And with a bit of technical knowledge. My members with technical knowledge are all older.
I think I would leave instructions on who executors are to email about it to take it over and pass on all the details and instruct that x amount in a will is to cover the running for 6 months or something until it's taken over.
Meaning I need to find someone to take it over!
I guess if someone does nothing, the forum would just continue until a server fee wasn’t paid.

Head to bluehostI have the opposite end of this problem.
I bought a site from someone who had failing health and has since died. I've been muddling through how to run the site and don't know enough to do this efficiently..... all trial and error. To complicate matters, the hosting company (bluehost) has been uncooperative in changing the primary account contact info to me, from the previous owner, who died on June 1st.
Since then, the hosting term expired. Of course bluehost was happy to take my money to renew the hosting service for three years, but they say they can't make me the primary contact without the permission of the original owner.... who is now dead. ahem.
Big help.
I'm getting a zillion server errors logged now. The home page says my PHP version is outdated and recommends PHP version 8.3
How do I update this?
Thanks in advance for any help. It seems my site is locked in some kind of log in loop preventing folks (including me) from logging on and probably registering as a member.
A letter from the previous owners wife, next of kin, etc, coupled with a death certificate will be enough to transfer ownership of the account, or allow you to open a new account and transfer the site.Since then, the hosting term expired.
