Changes to a Distributorship Because of Life Events
Marriage
An Associate may request a name change by submitting a new application to USANA with a copy of the marriage certificate.
Associate marrying another Associate- Send a copy of the marriage certificate to USANA Ethics and Training Department.
Divorce
In a divorce situation, USANA will allow one individual to keep the original distributorship and the other to re-enroll immediately, without the usual six-month waiting period. Both parties must agree in writing on all aspects of change to the distributorship in this regard. We ask that you provide a letter of agreement signed by both parties together with a newly executed Associate Application.
Incapacitation and Death
If an Associate passes away or becomes incapacitated, their distributorship (including qualifying for commissions, bonuses, and all Associate responsibilities) may pass to their successor(s). Upon death or incapacitation, the successor(s) must present the USANA Ethics Department with proof of death (a death certificate) or incapacitation (a letter from the distributor’s physician).
Additionally, the successor must provide proof of succession. Some examples could include a will or trust document in the event of death or a Power of Attorney document for incapacitation. These documents should be presented together with a properly completed Associate Application and Agreement. You may inherit and retain another distributorship even though you currently own or operate a distributorship.
