Has anyone needing to change the mailing address for someone who is deceased?
My mother recently died. I live about 25 minutes from her house and can go over and get the mail but it would be easier for it to be forwarded to my house. I am her only child and am executor under her will. I am not sure yet whether I will need to file for a probate administration (not all estates require a probate administration in my state). Even if I do file for one, it will take at least a month to get that done.
The USPS website say that to complete a change of address for her I have to provide valid proof that I am the appointed executor or administrator and authorized to manage her mail.
Of course, I can just go over and check her mail frequently until I get appointed or get whatever proof would satisfy USPS. Has anyone had to do this? Any luck getting them accept anything other than being appointed executor?
