What about upwwork account if a freelancer/client die?

Hi Md N,

Could you please clarify your question?

[unique48]

Suppose, after my death, $$ in account?

[ailish_d]

That would never, in my wildest dreams, be the first question I had when starting on UW!

[unique48]

It's not funny matter. As death is mandatory, so a system can implement like bank AC.

[ailish_d]

I didn't say it was a funny matter, I said it was a funny first question.

How do you know death is mandatory? I haven't died yet, and don't plan to. Personally, I think such an eventuality is as a result of social conditioning/lazy thinking, and until I feel the Grim Reaper's icy skeletal hand upon my shoulder, I shall continue to believe otherwise.

Hi Md N,

In the unfortunate event of a user's passing, any funds they have in their balance will be sent to their payment method as per the automatic payment schedule.

There's a system for that. I'll play CS rep and look for it for you.

Thanks

Yeah!!! Just read 🙂

Two things are for sure, death and taxes. But taxes come first.

[colettelewis]

 In France, they also come afterwards! 😉

A much loved and very active member of E. passed away suddenly 4 years ago.

One of the provider's friends posted the news in the verison of a Coffee Break forum.

After shock and tears subsided someone had the presence of mind to check the person's profile.  There was an open and active job.  It took a rather loud demanding clamor from providers to have management notify the client. 

For obvious reasons, I have no idea if there was any money in the individual's account.  I must trust that E sent it (if there) on to the provider's bank account as would be proper.

Sadly, it isn't such an odd question.  😞
