Remove Site – Owner Deceased

As that site is hosted by wordpress.com, you should probably ask WordPress.com support instead: https://wordpress.com/support/help-support-options/

Hi Steven, that is what I did but as it is a free site they referred me here instead which does not seem logical to me.

There’s nothing we can do about it here; you need to speak to the HOST, which is wp.com.

Hi @focustechnology – I’m sorry for the loss of your web person.

There a couple of ways you could handle this, but it’s the WordPress.com support folks who will be able to help you out directly.

If you have access to any legal documentation around the person’s death, you can follow the guide here: https://wordpress.com/support/deceased-user/

If not, please fill out the form here with as many details as possible: https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/

If you need to reach WordPress.com staff directly, you can also email help AT wordpress DOT com.

Hmm I’m not sure who referred you here but perhaps they referred you to the WordPress.com forums, which are different than these ones. Regardless, the steps above should get you help from a staff member. Cheers.
