Why Use Service Sunset?
Stop unwanted charges and protect your estate from recurring subscription fees.
In today's subscription economy, most of us have numerous recurring payments for services, memberships, and subscriptions. When someone passes away, these services continue to bill until manually canceled, potentially draining estate resources.
Legalock's Service Sunset feature helps you create a comprehensive list of services that should be canceled after your passing, complete with account details and cancellation instructions for your trustees.
Did You Know?
- Americans spend around $118 per month or $1,416 per year on subscriptions
- Many services have no automatic process for cancellation after death
