FAQ

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.

Since payable-on-death accounts (PODs) and transfer-on-death accounts (TODs) must designate a beneficiary, they are not subject to the California probate process. The payable-on-death beneficiary can claim the bank account proceeds by going to the bank with a copy of the death certificate and proof of identification.

The bank is likely to ask for two forms of your identification (usually a passport or driver's licence, or a proof of address with a utility bill) and a copy of the will. If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate.

How to Find the Bank Accounts of a Deceased Person Search Their Home and Mail. Visit Banks in Their Area. Call Their Employer. Search Online Databases. Consult With an Experienced Probate Attorney.

The simplest way to find out whether someone opened an account in your name is to check your credit reports. They will list all accounts associated with your name and Social Security number.

Who can access and close the deceased's bank account? The executor named in the will can do this, or if no executor has been nominated, the administrator (main beneficiary). They'll contact the bank in question with proof of death to begin the process. The Death Certificate is typically accepted as proof.
