FAQ
In California, an account holder should complete a Totten trust document. A Totten Trust is a payable-on-death account with a named beneficiary. When the account owner dies, the contents of the Totten Trust automatically pass to the beneficiary.
If someone dies without a will, it doesn't mean that probate isn't required. Many estates will need estate administration, especially when dealing with large assets, numerous debts, or family disputes. Simpler procedures may be available for smaller and less complex estates.
Your valid ID, such as a state-issued driver's license or ID card, U.S. passport, or military ID. Proof of death, such as certified copies of the death certificate. Documentation about the account and its owner, including the deceased's full legal name, Social Security number, and the bank account number.
If there's no will or no executor named in the will: If there is no will or the person who should handle the estate is not named in the will, a relative or legal representative must request permission from the probate court to close the account.
If the deceased person was the sole owner of the bank account and named a beneficiary, then the bank can release the funds to the beneficiary without probate. If there is no named beneficiary, then the bank will require probate before releasing any funds.
The beneficiary generally does not need to hire a lawyer or file anything in court to access the funds. They should be able to simply present the bank with proof of the death (e.g. a death certificate) as well as proof of their own identity, and the bank should release the funds directly to them.
If your business is a sole proprietorship, the business will terminate upon your death and your business assets will become part of your estate. They will pass to your heirs ing to the terms of your will. If you do not have a will, they will pass ing to Texas law regarding intestate succession.
