My father passed away and his phone was destroyed. I know his Coinbase password but cannot get in due to the 2fa (google Authenticator). How do I disable this and gain access to the account to get custody of the funds? I know his email password and Coinbase password and we got him a new phone.

are you in the US? If you are once you procure a death certificate and send it out the funds will go to probate and be handled there. Other countries I don't know the process. Signing up for Coinbase requires KYC don't do some dumb shit and extend probate

Thanks. I submitted all the documents they requested a week ago and they have been dragging their feet and fucking around. I’m so close I don’t want to have to wait for 100 Coinbase lawyers to go through everything. I’m trying to disable the 2fa myself so I can handle the situation myself

LMAO good luck had to do the same shit when I changed phone numbers. It’s a pain in the ass. Coinbase has some of the worst customer service in the modern world

I’m in the us. I guess that’s good but I would rather not do that. Just want to have the 2fa disabled so I can handle it before Coinbase potentially goes under.

>> No.50060621

>>50060587
1.Coinbase isn't going under.
2. Funds that are frozen due to being deceased have special protection. It's imperative you notify them immediately so it goes through the proper channels. Once you've done this though you're find and just need to wait. Sorry about your loss it can be stressful handling someone elses finances and waiting but the best thing to do is to just wait.

You have to send them a death certificate and prove that you're the designated death beneficiary. Or is your mom still alive? She may be able to do it without being in the will. not sure though.

I'd give him a break on it. As someone also having to deal with legal shit (my mom passed away in April) it's just really mentally taxing on a person especially when money is involved. I'm sure OP's dad didn't have Hilton or Trump-tier money on Coinbase, but even if it's $1000 it's just something you want to get done and over with. If you have other family members in your ear too it makes it so much worse.

Sorry for your loss fren. My dad passed quickly and tragically. Here one day and gone the next. It’s just me, mom and sister now. It’s been real tough.

Thanks, man. Sorry to hear about yours too. My mom passed away after being on a ventilator for about a week; died exactly a month before Mother's Day. I'm an only child, no immediate cousins, never really had anything to do with my dad or that side of the family. It's really shitty. My mom was me best friend and everything.

That is really tough to have to watch her pass slowly. Mine was the opposite. I am still dumbfounded. Cut off a lot of my “friends” the last 2 years so he was my best friend also. I’m happy we had a good relationship at least. I’m still in shock but there’s nothing I can do besides keep moving forward to help my family. Trying to get the house ready to sell because it’s too much work for my mom. I’m living back at home now for the next couple months. Your a month ahead of me or so. How have you been feeling/any advice

>That is really tough to have to watch her pass slowly.
It was fucking brutal. She had a week stint in the hospital and I was able to bring her home. Everything was looking good. It didn't seem terribly serious or anything. She had about three days at home and then I found myself having to call an ambulance early in the morning to rush her out of the house never to be back. The next she's put on a tube, they say they're very optimistic and then she never wakes up.

>Mine was the opposite. I am still dumbfounded. Cut off a lot of my “friends” the last 2 years so he was my best friend also.
I've basically been a shut-in for a decade and I really was close with her. We were more like roommates/friends that mom/son. I did all the cooking, cleaning, etc. It just worked out well for us.

>I’m happy we had a good relationship at least. I’m still in shock but there’s nothing I can do besides keep moving forward to help my family. Trying to get the house ready to sell because it’s too much work for my mom. I’m living back at home now for the next couple months.
For me I'm keeping the house. I have to find work now which I dread but I won't give up my mom's house (especially as it's paid off).

>Your a month ahead of me or so. How have you been feeling/any advice
Understand that grieving is fine and normal. Cry if you need to, it's not weird or wrong. I have some family who are overly involved and to put it nicely, hard to deal with; the types who basically think I should act like I'm over it already when it hasn't even been 3 whole months. Also don't make any rash decisions and don't junk stuff that you find sentimental. You want to keep a sweater or something your mom always wore (not shit like underwear obviously)? Do it. It's normal. If you're working on normal person's budget, remember you're going to have lawyers fees, probate (you know this obviously), funeral costs (I'm in Canada and they're a motherfucker but the government helps cover a tiny amount), etc.

The part that gets to me the most is knowing that my dad just drew the short stick. He passed at 55 and had so much life to live. He was going to retire in 5 years and got cheated. I’m pretty mad and upset but what else can I do besides keep going. Sorry about your situation. Are you talking to anyone professional or is that just a meme.

Sorry about your dad anon. A friend of mine had to deal with CB when his dad died and it was a real pain in the ass. AFAIK he eventually got it resolved by sending them the death certificate and proving who he was, but it took forever. On a related note - any way you can hang onto the house? Rent it out if you can? It's an extremely valuable asset.

>> No.50061857

You have to prove he's dead and prove he wanted you to have that. And you can't so don't bother.

It means more if you earn it yourself anyways

Why don't you fucking neck yourself and ask him in hell

Contact customer support. They may ask you for a copy of the death certificate or his SSN or his will or something to verify he died and that you are the rightful heir. Then account gets transferred over. Ezpz.

Housing is going to crash soon and the house is too much work for my mom. She is going to rent something smaller and sit on cash. My sister and I live in other states.

It's already crashing and people who can't and won't be able to afford to buy a house still need a place to live, i.e. renters. I hear ya though.
