How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

Answered by attorney Darin Christensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Get a copy of her death certificate to the company with the account and fill out their paperwork. This assumes you are a named pay on death beneficiary. If not, you will have to do a probate, small estate affidavit, or company specific affidavit depending on the value of all her assets.

If the wife doesn't apply for administrator after the death of her spouse, can one of their children apply?

Answered by attorney Gregory L. Jensen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Jensen Law Group
Yes. Happens all the time. They would apply to be appointed Special Administrator and have authority to round up bank accounts, file the will, open safe deposit boxes, etc. They would NOT be entitled to take money for themselves but must report their work to the probate court and follow the court's instructions. To be appointed Special Administrator is pretty simple but usually involves help from an attorney.
