FAQ
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.
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.
Nope. The Court must grant Letters-of-Probate before the Executor(s)' authority kicks into gear. The estate must be formalized before anything can move forward. It could be possible to list the house, but the transaction cannot be executed with out the Letters-of-Probate being in place.
What happens if someone dies without a will and has no known heirs? In such instances, a public administrator may be appointed to oversee estate administration and locate heirs. If no heirs can be found, the decedent's property could pass to the state. Being administrator requires time and diligence.
Intestacy succession laws start with the deceased person's close relatives and work out from there to more distant relatives. If there is no close family member (for example, the person was unmarried or their spouse already died), the property goes to the next closest set of family members: Surviving spouse.
Timelines for transferring property after the owner's death vary by state and can range from a few months to over a year.

Depending on the amounts involved, it's possible to close an account without probate (the legal right to deal with someone's estate when they die). Each financial institution has its own limit and so you need to contact them to see what their process is.
