How to open an estate account Step 1: Begin the probate process. The steps for beginning this process depend on the state in which the deceased person resided. Step 2: Obtain a tax ID number for the estate account. Step 3: Bring all required documents to the bank. Step 4: Open the estate account.
The legal process of probate, which validates a deceased person's will (if there is one), is lengthy and expensive, and can substantially delay the distribution of an estate to the intended beneficiaries as well as reducing what they ultimately receive. Like other assets, bank accounts are generally subject to probate.
Typically, a beneficiary can claim the proceeds from a payable-on-death account—sometimes called a “POD” account—by going to the bank with a death certificate and proof of identification.
