Death of primary account holder

As the secondary member of the account, can I continue to use the account as is until the expiration date?

On behalf of AARP, I'd like to extend our condolences on the news of your loss, @BonnieS129883. What we can do is update your AARP Membership account, and transfer the membership into your name only. Please send us a private message, or visit this link - https://aarp.info/34pgQzq - so we can help with updating the account. - Christy C.

I believe you can. The secondary person gets all the benefits as the primary anyway, and it can be placed in your name as well. Just give them a call and they’ll switch over the account to you, when you get the chance. So sorry for your loss.
