Some banks or building societies will allow the executors or administrators to access the account of someone who has died without a Grant of Probate.

The beneficiary generally does not need to hire a lawyer or file anything in court to access the funds. They should be able to simply present the bank with proof of the death (e.g. a death certificate) as well as proof of their own identity, and the bank should release the funds directly to them.
