This is true. Blizzard is unbelievably strict about their account reclamation process. Several years ago I tried to access an account that had been in my ex-wife's name. When I told them that the ex-wife and I weren't in contact, they asked for a copy of the divorce decree, or separation paperwork, or whatever. Seriously. Of course this was in the 2008 timeframe so maybe things have changed/loosened up since then.
