A guy i work with Mum has recently died her life insurance etc has been shared out! they now have found she had a bank account with over �13000 in it! how do they go about claiming this?
The executor will need to apply for probate, then when he/she gets the probate letter they need to see the bank, then disribute the money according to the will. The process will take months. The probate details may prompt debtors (or DWP if she was on benefits) to claim a share of the money
