We understand that managing a loved one’s accounts after their passing can be incredibly difficult. During a time of bereavement, dealing with financial matters shouldn’t feel overwhelming. While Kraken doesn’t currently offer the option to add a beneficiary to an account, we do have a process to support families and legal representatives.
If you're handling the estate of someone who had a Kraken account, our dedicated team can guide you through the necessary steps. You’ll need to provide:
- •A government-issued photo ID.
- •The death certificate.
- •Legal documentation confirming your authority (such as probate or letters of administration).
- •Any other documents our team may request.
To make things easier for those managing your estate in the future, you may consider including your Kraken public account ID n your will or estate plan.
If you need to report the death of a Kraken client, please submit a request to our Compliance team, and we’ll support you with care and discretion throughout the process.
