Website Domain Names in an Estate: Plan Renewal and Transfer

💡 Key takeaways

Keep a record of the registrar, expiry date, DNS and hosting contacts, and the separate rights tied to a domain.

A domain is an internet resource that requires registration, a registrar account, and renewal. Holding a domain does not automatically mean owning a trademark or the entire website, so list each right separately.

Create a Domain Inventory

Record the domain name, expiry date, registrar, DNS administrator email, payer, and registrant name. Keep trademark evidence, website contracts, and hosting-account details separately.

Ask the Registrar What to Do After a Death

THNIC sets domain-registration policies and identifies the rights holder in the application information. For an inheritance-related transfer, ask the registrar or service provider and THNIC which documents they accept. Do not wait until the domain expires.

Plan Secure Access

Name a backup administrator and explain how to renew without sharing a central password. Review trademark ownership, content rights, and hosting contracts with a lawyer separately from the domain registration.
