Atticus' Legacy Review of AAA's membership cancellation process after someone dies = 8 / 10 stars
AAA gets high marks for it's cancelling a membership process when someone dies, as they don't require a heavy amount of information. They seem well set up for the process, however, they do lose a point because they don't have a webpage that states a clear policy on the matter. Hopefully, after receiving this less than perfect mark they'll write one for their clients.
