FAQ

In order to open a checking account, you generally need to present to the bank a copy of the death certificate as well as your legal appointment paperwork, e.g., a certificate of qualification or Letters Testamentary. You should gather these ahead of time before going to the bank.

Can a minor open a checking account without an adult co-owner? Minors 17 years and older or older can open a checking account individually or with an adult co-owner. Minors 13-16 must have an adult co-owner.

Contact the bank in advance to ensure you arrive with the appropriate documents, but you'll likely need to bring a notarized or certified copy of the death certificate and proof of your identity, such as a driver's license or passport. You'll also need the decedent's legal name and Social Security number.

They'll receive ownership of the account upon your death but won't have direct access to the funds before reaching legal age. An adult must manage your child's account until they come of age, so you'll need to appoint a custodian or trustee who'll act on their behalf.

Something that often catches a newly appointed personal representative off guard is the requirement to open and manage an estate banking account. Typically, the account is a basic checking account and is often named “Estate of Deceased's Name, Executor's Name, Executor”.

In the US, those under 18 are minors and can not enter into contracts, so you will need someone over 18 to act as your custodian. You will need your Social Security Number and, probably, some form of photo ID and a means of validating your address. You'll need whatever the minimum deposit is where you open the account.

Once you've been appointed executor or personal representative by the probate court, you'll probably want to open a bank account in the name of the estate. Usually, an account for an estate is registered in this or a similar way: "Estate of Gerald S. Smith, Deceased, Pamela S. Smith, executor."
