Good Day.

@Barb Eden Please accept our deepest personal condolences on your recent loss. I wish there was something more we could do for you at this time.

Legal matters in terms of account ownership transfer cannot be handled on the Bell Community Forum. We do not have access to your account & billing details. It is best for you to seek legal advice in this matter.

Many spouses act as executor for the will & estate when a spouse dies. May I assume that you are the executor for your husband's will & estate? I can provide you with the following as a point of reference.

TV, Internet or Home phone:

  • Accounts can be cancelled upon request. 
  • The estate can transfer the ownership of the account to you if you wish to keep it active.
  • The estate is responsible for paying all outstanding charges, as well as monthly and/or usage charges until the transfer of responsibility has been completed or the service has been cancelled.

Note: early termination fees will be waived at the time of cancellation.

Bell may ask you for the following:

  • The account number and name of the account holder
  • Your relationship to the deceased.
  • A copy of the death certificate.

What to do after a death

To do any of the above, please contact Bell at: 1 866 310-BELL (2355) or dial #611 from any Bell mobile device.

Thank you for posting your question. Let us know if we can provide you with any additional help.

Take care.
