The entire M1 team offers their sincere condolences and is here to help you with the next steps.
You don't need to have all your documents together at this stage.
When you're ready, please email us at [email protected] to inform our team of the account owner’s passing. We ask that you include the email address associated with their M1 account so we can locate it.
When you’re able, you can begin collecting the following documentation:
The decedent’s death certificate
Letters of Administration, a letter of Testamentary, or a Court Letter of Appointment
Most accounts will only require these documents, but we will let you know if there is anything else we need to assist you.
