Many entertainment sites involve contracts that allow people to stream video and music, watch live sports or concerts, or store and play music. Most of these sites save credit card information and for many the contract continues to renew until there is a request to stop it. After your loved one’s death, you must reach out to each service to prevent this and possibly get a refund for the time remaining in the contract.
When you know your loved one’s password and username or email you must login to their account to begin the process.
