Probate Administration To access the funds in a deceased person's bank account, the appointed executor must provide documentation to the bank to prove that the court has appointed them as the estate executor. This documentation may include a death certificate, letters testamentary, and other legal documents.
In these cases, simply visit the bank with a valid ID and a certified copy of the death certificate. You will then have access to the account, allowing you to withdraw the funds as needed.
The named beneficiary on an account with a TOD or POD designation will likely need to present a certified death certificate, valid identification, and a completed claim form. Some banks may also require additional documentation to establish the beneficiary's claim on the account.
