If there's a will without a named executor, the court will issue a Letter of Testamentary; if there's no will, the court will issue a Letter of Administration. Present either of these letters to the bank along with the death certificate to close the account.

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.

The Harris County Clerk's office is happy to help you file documents or locate records, but we cannot answer legal questions. Learn how some of a deceased person's assets and debts can be distributed without going to court.This depends on whether they had the right documents. A transfer on death deed (TODD) is a legal document that allows a person to transfer ownership of their property after they die. The bank will not allow you to close it unless you have a letter of authorization from the probate court. "Letters Testamentary" and "Letters of Administration" are legal documents that grant authority to a person to act on behalf of a deceased person's estate. I am writing to you regarding the above account, which as far as I am aware has a balance owed of £XXXX. Probate is the legal process to distribute a person's property after they die. Use this letter when someone you know has died and they have left no assets or will behind. Contact us for advice before using this letter.
