I have a small problem with this bank that has escalated into a fine little argument. My daughter was deceased as of Dec15 and little did i know that her friend was on the acct. First they told me that there was a second name on the acct, later i went back and they say beneficiary. My question to this problem is who gets the money in the checking acct, me or the beneficiary? The beneficiary would blow it and i need it for funeral expenses not yet paid. HELP

No bank, can just allow someone to withdraw funds from someones account. Unless, they are on the account... If the person has passed,
and DOES NOT HAVE A WILL, you have to get a legal assistance from the State, saying that you are the Executor of your childs Estate.
Afterwards, taxes must be paid. Some states charge "Death" taxes. The Federal Government charges up to 50% in "Death" taxes.

Good Luck.

If someone else was on the account as co-owner, that person needs to present a death certificate to the bank. The account is still that co-owners account. The beneficiary does not come into play unless the decease was the sole owner of the account. Hope this helps.

ok, first of all, I am sorry for your loss. If the deceased was the sole owner of the account, with a death certificate, the beneficiary listed on the accounts' signature card will get the funds remaining in the account. Now if there was someone else co-owning that account, the funds are now that persons funds and the beneficiary person is not a beneficiary yet, because there is still an owner on the account. Hope this helps.

I was In church messed up went astray fit a few years returned to Christ soon after my mom passed. I was informed by my siblings I'm sole beneficiary only after they made several attempts without me .my problem is 5he i.d I have is a birth certificate my dad got for me it the only form I have since resurfacing . I've tried to get state i.d but they require several other forms of id I don't have right now the most important other is a utility bill with my name address showing that I've been tx resident, the money in mom's account would help me with goals, my question is can I have a chance accessing the account with my birth. Certificate plus I have personal friendships with a known dallas attorney a pastor if a church of christ church and a dallas county sheriff patrol officer all of which has been in there profession 20 plus years . Have them come with me sign idk affidavit or notorized letter stating I am who I claim to be will I gain access using this idea, birth certificate 3 up standing guys professionals I also have mom's bank statement he SS number account info and death certificate
