What Do I Need to Do When I'm Opening an Estate Bank Account? The death certificate. The person's Social Security number. An Employer Identification Number for the estate, since the estate is considered a separate entity — it's not the same as the person who died. Other documents needed by your bank.

To open an executor account, banks will require that applicants have a Grant of Representation or Grant of Probate if they are in England or Wales, or a Grant of Confirmation if they are in Scotland. A Grant of Representation may be applied for by the individual or through a solicitor.
