If you are indeed designated as a beneficiary on the account, the bank will release the contents of the account to you. If you are unsure where the decedent banked, you may consider asking the decedent's family members, the executor/administrator of their estate or the trustee of their trust.
If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate. When you've registered the death, you will be issued with a death certificate. This will act as formal notification for the bank to begin closing the account.
Your valid ID, such as a state-issued driver's license or ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID. Proof of death, such as certified copies of the death certificate. Documentation about the account and its owner, including the deceased's full legal name, Social Security number, and the bank account number.
