Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Randall C. Romei
Answered by attorney Randall C. Romei (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Ashcraft & Ashcraft, Ltd.
If you provide the bank with a certified copy of your letter of office that should be sufficient to gain access to any bank account held in your husband's name. If the bank account was a joint account the account would not be in your husband's estate. It would be owned by the surviving joint tenant. The death certificate would give them authority to turn the account over to the surviving joint tenant. As the executrix you can require the bank to provide you with information on all of his accounts, including the title on all of his accounts.

Can I find out about my father's will if I don't have a copy?

Does a Will override a Quitclaim deed?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It appears that the quit claim deed was executed after the will was signed by your mom and is a valid conveyance. As long as the transaction occurred in good faith between your mother and the grantee to the quit claim deed, he or she has a valid claim to the real property. To be on the safe side, I strongly recommend you get a consultation with a local attorney.
