A former employee is the only Page admin.

When the only admin leaves, the business can lose its own Page.

Updated 13 November 2026

The fastest route is asking the former employee to add you with full control, then removing them. If they will not or cannot, use Meta’s Page Admin Dispute with proof the Page belongs to the business. Keep your request polite and in writing.

Ask

Fastest if they cooperate.

Prove

Business documents.

Then lock it

Two admins, 2FA.

Steps

Contact the former employee and ask for full control to be given to a current employee.
If the Page is in a Business Portfolio they own, ask them to transfer or release it.
If they refuse, collect documents and use the Page Admin Dispute.
Once back, keep at least two trusted admins with two-factor authentication.
