Only joint owners, beneficiaries or executors can access a deceased person's bank account.
State laws typically govern the specific timeframe for keeping an estate open after death, but the average is about two years. The duration an estate remains open depends on how fast it goes through the probate process, how quickly the executor can fulfill their responsibilities, and the complexity of the estate.
CLOSING THE ESTATE: FORM 207.42 must be prepared and executed by the fiduciary and the attorney and filed after 7 months or by the end of 2 years from the date of fiduciary appointment. RELEASES from all beneficiaries of the estate must be executed and filed at this time, if not already filed.

Simple estates might be settled within six months. Complex estates, those with a lot of assets or assets that are complex or hard to value can take several years to settle. If an estate tax return is required, the estate might not be closed until the IRS indicates its acceptance of the estate tax return.
To file for letters of administration, you must be eligible to do so under New York State law. Eligible parties include the decedent's surviving spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, and other close relatives.
Letters of Administration will need to be obtained which requires filing a petition and many other documents with the Court. The petition for Letters of Administration is filed in the Surrogate's Court in the county where the decedent lived.
How long does it take to get letters of administration in New York. From a couple of weeks to several months. I'll give you a few examples. If the surviving family is a spouse, adult children and they all get along, then just a few weeks, because there are no court dates and no conflict.
Close accounts After the executor or administrator collects the funds, this person can proceed with closing the bank accounts. This typically involves submitting a formal request to the bank to close the accounts and distributing the remaining funds to the heirs of the estate.
