I know the feeling. My dad has been dead for many years and yet he still gets junk mail.
I'm sure other FRers have similar experiences.
My mom still gets mail, and ironically, Capital One keeps sending credit card offers to our (now dead) pet rabbit, despite the fact that I have told them to stop. The rabbit also got offers for scholarships from the U.S. Army.
I wonder how many people will still be receiving spam fity years after they die.
One of the best ones I ever got was in 2002 when my fathers old insurance company sent a letter saying that since he has had a prestine driving record for the last 7 years he could get a very special insurance rate if he came back to them.
Now the reason his driving record was so good was because he had not driven since 1995...because he died.
If they really did their research they maybe would have raised a red flag at the fact that he must also have been driving on an expired license for 6 years.
My husband was his mother's power of attorney for several years before she died. She didn't live with us but lived in an assisted living facility in another city. Her mail was sent to us. The city in which we live sent her a notice that she owed city income tax! It took a while, but we finally convinced the powers-that-be that she did not live in our city and DID NOT owe them any tax. Mom passed away in 1999. She still gets mail!
