FAQ
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. continues to insure accounts for six months after an account holder dies, allowing the surviving account holder to redistribute funds to other accounts to keep them insured. Once the period elapses, FDIC coverage stops.
Start the letter with your introduction and the reason for writing the letter. Moreover, request the bank manager to settle the deceased account. Additionally, you have to provide details like account numbers and other documents. Signature – Use “Faithfully” or “Sincerely” as signatures and then mention your name.
Whether a bank account goes through Florida probate depends on how it was titled at the time of death. Accounts held solely by the deceased, those listing the estate as a beneficiary, or those without designated beneficiaries must undergo probate.
In Florida, assets that are held in a living trust pass to beneficiaries without probate court proceedings. These trusts must be created before your death, and all assets—including real estate, antiques, vehicles, and so on — must be transferred into the trust under the terms of the trust document.
Under Florida law if a decedent does not leave a valid will, then his estate will go to his legal heirs. Generally, a decedent's next of kin is his or her surviving spouse and children.
Without going through the probate process, no one will know which assets they are entitled to receive from their loved one's estate, assets may unnecessarily be lost to creditor claims, and heirs and beneficiaries will lack the certainty they need to move on.
In Florida, four types of bank accounts can avoid probate: Payable-on-Death (POD) Accounts – Funds are transferred directly to designated beneficiaries upon the account holder's passing. Shared Bank Accounts – Married couples holding joint assets benefit from automatic survivorship rights.
If you want a final settlement of the joint account of your parents, then you will have to write a letter to the bank informing them about their deaths. The documents needed are a death certificate, residential proof, bank passbook, etc.
