Protecting a loved one’s identity

Suggestions from Sid Kirchheimer in AARP:

1. In the obituary, list the age but not the birth date, mother’s maiden name or personal identifiers (including home address).
2. Send copies of the death certificate to all three credit reporting agencies by certified mail, return receipt requested, asking them to put a “deceased alert” on the credit report.
3. A couple of weeks after notifying the credit reporting agencies, check one company’s report at annualcreditreport.com for suspicious activity. Several months later check a different one; several months after that, check the third.
4. Send copies of the death certificate to banks, insurers, brokerages, credit card companies and mortgage companies, and ask that closed accounts be listed as “Closed: Account Holder is Deceased”.
5. Remove the name of the deceased from joint accounts.
6. Advise Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (ssa.gov).
7. Contact the DMV to cancel the deceased’s driver license so duplicates can’t be issued.
