FAQ
The next of kin must notify their banks of the death when an account holder dies. This is usually done by delivering a certified copy of the death certificate to the bank, along with the deceased's name and Social Security number, bank account numbers, and other information.
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.
A letter of instruction (also known as a letter of intent) is an informal supplement to an estate plan which provides your Successor Trustee/Executor with detailed information concerning your wishes after you die.
Steps to Closing Out a Trust After Death Step 1: Notify Beneficiaries and Creditors. The first task for the successor trustee is to notify both the beneficiaries and creditors. Step 2: Inventory and Value Assets. Step 3: Settle Debts and Taxes. Step 4: Distribute Assets to Beneficiaries. Step 5: Dissolve the Trust.
The bank needs to be notified of the accountholder's passing as soon as possible, as any bank accounts of the deceased remain active until the bank is notified of the death. This typically entails providing the original Death Certificate for verification purposes and the Will, if one is available.
