If the question pertains to changing an address to enable someone to receive another person's mail w/o having said person's consent, yes it is most assuredly illegal since you would need to forge that person's name to the change of address card. If it is in reference to one's own mail, it would not be illegal to have your mail sent to a friend, parent, P.O. box or wherever one so chooses.

∙ 15y agoThe question is unclear and too vague. The law considers that you can only have one "legal" permanent place of residence at a time. If you have a necessity to have 'mail addresses' in other locations that is not illegal in itself, just so long as you are not doing so for an unlawful reason or with criminal intent.

But the question would be, what address would you change it to?
It is better to contact the company or person who sent the mail and advise them of the death. Alternately, you can simply put the mail back in the mail with "Refused, Return to Sender" written on the front.
See the instructions from the U.S. Post office at the related link below.
