How Can I Find My Deceased Father's Bank Accounts?

          In case you father has passed away and you need to access his bank accounts, you will have to show a proof to the bank that your father is no more. You will have to show the copy and the original of the death certificate which proves that the person who has been holding an account in the bank has deceased.

           In order to get access to the money in the account, you need to prove that you are the legitimate son of the deceased. For the proof of it, you can show the results of the DNA test or any other proof which states that you are legal heir to the account.

This is very important to show all these things otherwise the bank will not transfer the ownership of the account in your name. This is the bank policy.

Besides what the other person told you remember you must show proof that your are the executor or his estate. He will show who the executor of the estate is as it may not be you. Contact his lawyer for that information if you know who he has used. Just because you are his son may not be enough proof that you have access to his accounts.
