Hi @Fluffybutt. My condolences. I know this can be a difficult time and I understand this may not be easy to accomplish. For legal reasons, there are specific guidelines and procedures that have to be followed. Alternatively, If you have access to the Ring App, you can Change Your Email under the settings, as outlined in this Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002566283-Changing-your-Email-Address-in-the-Ring-App).
