We have already paid for his funeral, his brother did not help at the bank gave all.The my husband a check box that we put into our joint account.We those who pay the bills, my husband is the executor. Steven, we show the bank a death certificate, which then told my husband could remove the funds and got a cashier's check.
There are several types of joint accounts. Most are 100% owned by each person on the account. This means that when a person dies, the remaining owners already have an account of the account and the heirs of the deceased have ZERO claim to the account. The employee should have already confirmed that applies to the type of property affected joint. If the bank knew your mother-in-law had died when her husband wrote the check, confirmed that. If that was not true, would have been illegal to allow anyone access to the account until the probate court ordered them to so so.
