FAQ

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."

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.

What Powers Does an Executor Have? The executor can access the bank accounts, any assets, and documents related to the estate. However, the executor is only supposed to carry out the wishes mentioned in the will. Otherwise, they are liable for abusing the powers or making mistakes.

It's advisable to open a separate bank account and to put the estate's funds there so you can use them to make related payments. A separate account will also help you keep track of your transactions but it's a good idea to keep paper receipts as well.

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”.

The executor of a will (also called the executor of the estate) refers to the person whom the court has appointed to preside over a decedent's estate.
