What You'll Need Your photo ID. Your Social Security Number. Your New York State proof-of-address. The estate's Tax ID number (EIN) Original court-appointed letters of testamentary or administration featuring a court seal and no older than six months.

To open an estate bank account, the fiduciary will need the EIN, certified letters testamentary (or letters of administration), and a certified copy of the death certificate. Some bank institutions will accept a regular copy of the death certificate.

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.

Many banks allow their customers to name a beneficiary, which is sometimes called a payable on death (POD) or transferable on death (TOD) account. If the account holder established someone as a beneficiary, the bank releases the funds to the named person once it learns of the account holder's death.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED: As a matter of general rule following documents are required in all cases of death claim: i. Death Certificate. ii. Application for Deceased claim(Annexure I) /Estate claim form (Annexure II) duly filled in by the legal heirs/claimants.

No Beneficiary on Bank Account If there is no beneficiary listed on the bank account, the account typically goes through probate, and the funds will be distributed ing to the deceased's will or state laws if there is no will.

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.
