When a bank account owner dies, the process is fairly straightforward if the account has a joint owner or beneficiary. Otherwise, the account typically becomes part of the owner's estate or is eventually turned over to the state government and the disbursement of funds is handled in probate court.

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.

Some of them are listed below: HSBC UK (Instructions about how to open an HSBC Executor Account can be found on their website) Barclays UK. Yorkshire Bank UK. Lloyds Bank UK. NatWest UK (You can get a Natwest executor account by using their website online.)

You will need to provide documentation to prove both that the account holder died and you have the legal authority (as a designated beneficiary, joint account holder or executor/administrator) to access the account.
