Hmmm. I am unsure. If both of your names are on the document and you can provide them with a death certificate I can not imagine that they will not work with you to remove them from the contract. However, if the phones are in your name alone, then the contract was made out to you and you will be responsible for both lines. Give them a call and see what you can work out with them. I would hope that if both of your names are on there, and you have proof that this should not be an issue (although you most likely will still be responsible for any past due expenses or payments up to the date that you contact them). Good luck, I am so sorry for your loss!
