Credit checks are run on people that have recently died in order to better understand the financial picture for estate distribution purposes. In general, there are no other reasons to do so except for committing fraud.

While individuals cannot run credit checks at all (the information provided on the internet for the "background check" services is minimal compared to the real information that is out there), they may employ one of two practitioners to obtain a credit report for them.

A licensed private detective may obtain a credit report for a client who has a defined need for the information contained within that report.

A licensed attorney may do so as well, however, they will typically charge more for the service than a detective. The attorney, however, will likely provide a better legal cover for doing so.
