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.
Your spouse can only access your bank account after you die if you designate them as a beneficiary on the account, if they are a joint owner of the account, or if they are appointed as executor or administrator of your estate.
