Many banks allow their customers to name a beneficiary, which is sometimes called a payable on death (POD) or transferable on death (TOD) account. If the account holder established someone as a beneficiary, the bank releases the funds to the named person once it learns of the account holder's death.

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.
