FAQ
Regardless of what your will says, whoever is named as the designated beneficiary on each account will receive that asset.
When a person passes away, their assets are distributed in ance with either their estate plan or California's intestate succession laws. However, certain assets, including most bank accounts, can pass directly to beneficiaries, without the need for probate or the court's intervention.
The bank is likely to ask for two forms of your identification (usually a passport or driver's licence, or a proof of address with a utility bill) and a copy of the will. If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate.
If a person has named beneficiaries for their financial accounts or life insurance policies, those designations will generally override any claim made by next of kin.
How do I create a next of kin affidavit? To create an affidavit, include critical information, such as the full names and birthdates of the deceased and the affiant, their relationship, and the date of death. It must be notarized and may require witness signatures.
In Texas, your bank accounts could be subject to probate, or they might bypass the process entirely if you've made the right arrangements. If you've named a beneficiary or set up a Payable-on-Death (POD) account, those funds can often be transferred directly to your heirs without going through probate.
