A date of death value letter provides account balance information on the date the account owner passed away. The date of death letter may only be requested by the decedent account's authorized representative: joint account owner, payable on death beneficiary, executor, estate administrator, or small estate beneficiary.
Respected Sir/Madam, I am writing to you with a heavy heart to inform you of the demise of my husband, Mr. Rajeev Singh, who had a savings account in your esteemed bank. It is a difficult time for our family, and I need to settle his financial affairs.
To have your bank account shared without the need for probate, it will need to have payable-on-death or transfer-on-death beneficiaries or be in a trust. If you have a simple estate with no other probate assets, your estate also may be able to avoid probate entirely.
