Choose who will continue oversight once you withdraw as StoryTeller. You can modify or withdraw your designation at any time; you decide. It is like changing a will but much easier; simply re-submit this form. Identifying a designee as soon as possible is encouraged.
Although rare, occasionally, one's name changes. Submitting this form with your new name indicated as "Succeeding StoryTeller" will update your profile. You will be issued a replacement Identification Passcode.
DO NOT SHARE THIS CODE WITH ANYONE ELSE. The identification Passcode serves to authenticate you as the story's active StoryTeller and to confirm your permission for story and profile modifications you initiate occasionally. Peek·into·the·Past furnished yours when you published a story (or restored one from “inactive” status).
"VERIFIED" will appear if details in the fields "StoryTeller (StoryTeller name as published)" and "Your identification passcode" match your Profile Record.
Report a change to your name

that shown on the Succeeding StoryTeller's official State ID. If at the time that this Subject Story becomes identified as "inactive," a) the address does not match and b) another individual had notified Peek·into·the·Past of interest in being the succeeding StoryTeller, the other individual might prevail over your designation.

the transfer of my role as StoryTeller for the story subject named below to the individual named below once the story is identified as "inactive." I reserve a right to withdraw or modify this authorization by filing a subsequent designation of the Succeeding StoryTeller.
The role of StoryTeller of an inactive story is open for interested individual to obtain. A story identified as inactive remains published and is available for Visitors to enjoy.
a StoryTeller is non-responsive to Visitor inquiries or Peek·into·the·Past,
any required information of both the subject and StoryTeller is withdrawn,
if requested, a current photo of the subject's memorial with the QR Code present is not provided,
account fees are more than 30 days outstanding,
or a StoryTeller requests their story be identified, as "inactive" and its effective date has been reached.
Once "inactive," the StoryTeller role is vacant, and the withdrawn StoryTeller surrenders control of that story content and does not incur further fees.
In requesting a Story be identified as "Inactive," there is no fee allowance (refund) for any unexpired term of the subscription plan. However, if the request is effective within the first 30 days of the Story being published and a Basic Plan subscription fee has been paid, it will be refunded.
I understand requesting a Story be identified as inactive is not a requirement in making a valid designation of Succeeding StoryTeller. The role of StoryTeller cannot be transferred if the story status is active. A StoryTeller of an active story may be ready to surrender that role; this optional request is used for such a purpose.

For each Story for which you are StoryTeller, the designation on file will remain in force. Just to remind you, you may modify or withdraw your designation; you decide.
