To forward a deceased person’s mail to yourself or to another address, you’ll need to go to a post office location and complete a change of address request in person. You will need to bring documented proof that you’re the official executor or otherwise authorized to manage the person’s mail — having only a death certificate will not suffice.
If you need to forward a single mail item, there’s no need to go to a post office. Just neatly cross out the current address, and on the front of the envelope, write “Forward to” in print along with the desired address. You can then put the envelope in your mailbox for pickup, take it to a post office mail drop box, or place it in a blue collection box.
