How to Deactivate a Prezi Account of a Deceased Family Member

Managing the final affairs of a loved one often involves dealing with various online and offline services. If your family member had a Prezi account and has passed away, you might need to deactivate it. Here’s a detailed guide on how to proceed.

Identifying the Deceased's Account

The first step in the process is to locate the Prezi account associated with the deceased. To do this, you’ll need to provide the transaction ID, which is a unique identifier for financial transactions. This ID is crucial in linking the payment to the account.

Here are some steps to find the transaction ID:

Check for an email: Typically, an email will be sent to the account user after a payment has been made. This email should contain the transaction ID. Look for emails in the primary inbox and also check spam folders. If emails were sent via PayPal or a credit card, the transaction ID will be alphanumeric (containing letters and numbers). Review all available accounts: Consider other email accounts your family member might have used, as well as any secondary accounts. If the transaction email was sent to a different address, it may have ended up in a spam or junk folder.

Providing Payment Details

If you find an email containing a transaction ID with the following structure:

For PayPal: The transaction ID is 17 characters long and alphanumeric (letters and numbers).

In cases where a transaction ID is not available, provide the following information to help us locate the account:

Card Details: The last 4 digits of the credit card number and the full name of the cardholder. Payment Date: The exact date of the payment. Amount Charged: The exact amount charged for the transaction. Billing Address: The billing postal or zip code associated with the card.

Using PayPal for Payment

If your family member used PayPal for the payment, provide the email address associated with the PayPal account. This can be particularly helpful because PayPal transactions often include detailed payment information.

Completing the Deactivation Process

Once we have the necessary information, we can proceed with the deactivation of the account. This process typically involves several steps:

Contact Support: Reach out to Prezi’s customer support team with the required information. Ensure you gather all necessary details in advance to expedite the process. Verification: Prezi may need to verify the identity of the deceased and the identity of the person requesting the account deactivation. This step may require supporting documents, such as a death certificate or a legal guardian’s ID. Immediate Action: The account will be deactivated once all verifications are complete. This process may take a few days to complete.

Support and Assistance

Deactivating a Prezi account of a deceased family member can be a sensitive process. Here are some additional tips and assistance you can seek:
