(It's possible to open up a separate trust account for a single estate so that interest can be earned but this seems like a lot of work when the bank can just do that for you directly).Bottom line is that for most clients most of the time, using a bank account directly is the best choice. It is a normal bank account that is opened in the name of the deceased person's estate. Do I have any rights? You're right, that is the hold-up. No spouse.

And, there is no online documentation about Estate Accounts that I can find anywhere on the TD website.Is this normal?

Nobody but a judge can decide whether a decision made by your mother close to her death is a valid decision or not.I'm absolutely horrified by this story.

I went through the lawyer for a probate. I suspect what they are talking about is that certain beneficiaries, such as spouses, usually have 6 months to make a claim against an estate, so executors usually wait out that time period.

I am executor for an estate of someone who lived and died in Alberta.

My sister and I would like this account to be settled to our Mother's RRSP as she is a Qualified Beneficiary and will not be paying taxes on it. Did the TD bank error in allowing this as she was only one of three executors? It does not include joint accounts in which the other party is still alive. Hi Bob,I would be very surprised if the bank did not allow you to sign a letter of indemnity under the circumstances. The only joint wills I've ever heard of are the kind where there is only one document shared between two people, and those haven't been done for about 50 years in most of Canada. Please help. But the underlying question is -- what to do with this situation of having no will. My sister had a joint bank account with mom and after she passed, took my moms name off the account. Went in to my local branch to start distributing funds to the beneficiaries when to my utter shock was informed the Probate papers had been rejected by the Estate Dept's legal wing due to the inability to read to signatures on the will, thus not allowing me to touch any of the funds. I am paying their benefits to the court.Thank you for any help and advice. Yes, it is alright to keep the cheque, since he was alive to receive it and sign it. The bank now says I have to wait 6 months before disbursing to beneficiaries. I am the beneficiary to the residual. Take the funeral bill to the bank where your uncle had his funds.

She has money due to her from the other UK source, but when I asked for the overseas sort code for her account I was told the deposit wouldn't be accepted because the account is not yet an estate account.Mylawyer tells me TD is even worse to deal with re estates, bottom line is check with a bank about their estate account policies before you have a bureaucratic nightmare on your hands. We also own property that my mother as executor has never removed my Grandmother from. The majority of elder financial abuse is done by the elder's kids.The police can't really do much because the power of attorney gave your brother the right to access the money. No bank wants funds to flow out. Once the letter of probate has been granted and presented to the bank where the estate account has been set up, does the bank have any further right to "approve" payments coming out of the estate account. As there was only cash in his estate I did not set up an estate account - the death benefit cheque was deposited to his account. I have Mom's taxes done for this year. Once the funeral arrangements have been made and all interested parties informed of the death, one of the first things the executor must do is deal with the bank accounts of the deceased: Finding out what banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions the deceased dealt with, notifying them that you are the executor, and determining the details of assets in all accounts. My husband is the executor of his fathers account. If that gets around, that bank is going to see every cent owned by a deceased person put into estate accounts in other banks that are more reasonable.Lynne.

My sister and I were listed as co-executors and my sister has since renounced her position as executor (legally documented with the lawyer that held my mothers will). If it is only bank policy and not law, however, I am going to protest this, as my brother was laid off a while back and could really use his share of the funds now. I was told in the beginning the less money in the account the easier it will be to close out I have a felling this isn't so. I have set up an estate account. Unfortunately, often the only feasible solution is for the accountant to prepare worksheets, pieced together from whatever data can be determined, allocating assets and incomes into pre- and post-death portions, for reasonable, if not precise, tax reporting. Until then I have to ask for a balance and any bills I need to pay out of the account will have to be by bank draft. RBC has made a royal mess for me to contend with.

To open any bank or investment account, you'll need a taxpayer ID number for the estate, which is itself a taxpayer. Why is the bank refusing to add my name as the administrator to my sister's estate bank account?
