Step 1 of 2

Use this form to:

1) Identify the Story as "Inactive" and/or
2) Designate, Modify, or Withdraw the "Succeeding StoryTeller"

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.

Stories identified as inactive:

A story becomes so identified upon any of these occasions:

1) a StoryTeller is non-responsive to Visitor inquiries or Peek·into·the·Past,
2) any required information of both the subject and StoryTeller is withdrawn,
3) if requested, a current photo of the subject's memorial with the QR Code present is not provided,
4) account fees are more than 30 days outstanding,
or 5) a StoryTeller requests the story be identified "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Once "inactive," the StoryTeller role is vacant, and the withdrawn StoryTeller surrenders control of that story content and does not incur further fees. The role of StoryTeller of an inactive story is eligible for another interested individual to obtain. Later, you may even want to restore the story now being classified as "inactive" to "active" status. Restore A Story From “Inactive” or “Hidden” Status

Requesting the Story be identified as inactive?(Required)

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 remains active. A StoryTeller of an active story may be ready to surrender that role; this optional request is used for such a purpose.

Yes, I am requesting the Story be identified as inactive. I realize a designated Succeeding Storyteller must qualify and accept the role within 90 days after the story becomes inactive and will reach out to the designee, if any.

No, I am only designating (or withdrawing a designation, as the case may be) a Succeeding StoryTeller.

Gallery Media limitation(Required)

Upon the Story becoming reclassified from "Active" to "Inactive" status, media within its Gallery section is limited to eight items. If currently there are more than eight, describe the items you choose to retain in the Gallery.

Story title(Required)

Effective date to identify Story: as inactive:(Required)

I am requesting that effective this date, the story status be identified as "inactive." I reserve the right to withdraw or modify this date anytime prior. Upon this date, I relinquish any StoryTeller rights pertinent to this subject story, including the right to hide the story on Peek·into·the·Past from public view.

Your identification passcode(Required)

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).

Verifying your identification passcode(Required)

"VERIFIED" will appear if details in the fields "StoryTeller" and "Your identification passcode" match your Profile Record.

A crucial step in preserving the Story for future generations is choosing who will continue oversight once the story is identified as "Inactive."

You may designate, modify, or withdraw your designation here.

Election to designate, modify, or withdraw the succeeding StoryTeller(Required)

I authorize the transfer of my role as StoryTeller for Story: to the individual named below as Succeeding StoryTeller once the story is identified as "inactive". I reserve the right to withdraw or modify this authorization by filing a subsequent designation of the Succeeding StoryTeller prior to the effective date indicated above. If a designation of Succeeding Storyteller is on record, this action supersedes it.

I withdraw the designated, if any, Succeeding Storyteller of record for Story: . This action results in no designation of Succeeding Storyteller on record.

No, not at this time.

Subscription Plan in effect(Required)

Switching subscription plans is always an option, from the Basic Plan to the Fixed-Fee Plan or vice versa. Follow the "Switch" link within the Administrative Action options of the StoryTeller's Portal to change the subscription plan. Fixed-Plan subscribers designating, modifying, or withdrawing the Succeeding StoryTeller is free; Basic Plan subscribers pay $15.

Succeeding StoryTeller (Name as on State ID)(Required)

Please put here the name, and below address, of the individual, you designate to be a Succeeding StoryTeller. These details must match that appearing on that person's official State identification as of the date the story is classified as "inactive." The designated succeeding StoryTeller will have 90 days following the date this story is identified as "inactive" to otherwise qualify as StoryTeller.

Address as on State ID

This address must match 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. It is recommended that you annually verify your designee's current address and report changes by filing a new designation form. Also, it is recommended that your designated individual inform us of their interest in succeeding in the role. The Contact Portal is available for that purpose.
