  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your sister. We’ll be able to transfer ownership of the WordPress.com account to you if you send us the following:

  * A copy of the deceased user’s death certificate

  * A power of attorney or legal document stating your authority to act on behalf of the deceased, or a signed, notarized statement including:

  – Your first and last name
  – Your current contact information
  – Your email address
  – Your relationship to the deceased user
  – The action you’re requesting (e.g., “Please transfer ownership of the account.”)

  You can email the scanned documents or mail them to this address:

  Automattic Inc.
  60 29th Street #343
  San Francisco, CA 94110

  I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
