DEATH OF AN ACCOUNT OWNER (12 C.F.R. § 330.3(j)) To ensure that families dealing with the death of a family member have adequate time to review and restructure their accounts if necessary, the FDIC will insure the deceased owner's accounts as if he or she were still alive for six months after his or her death.
You will need to provide documentation to prove both that the account holder died and you have the legal authority (as a designated beneficiary, joint account holder or executor/administrator) to access the account.
Property that is held in a revocable trust will avoid probate. However, it is not sufficient to just have a revocable trust. The deceased person's property must be held in it when she dies. Once a person signs a revocable trust, she should immediately transfer her property to the trust.
Aside from making funeral arrangements and informing all parties involved of the death, dealing with a deceased's bank accounts is one of the most difficult things the executor must do. Once the executorship is confirmed, they will have access to all of the deceased assets, including their bank accounts.
Executors are bound to the terms of the will, which means they are not permitted to change beneficiaries. The beneficiaries who were named by the decedent will remain beneficiaries so long as the portions of the will in which they appear are not invalidated through a successful will contest.
