Let's examine your question and look for the answer in the legal terms you used to ask it.

An 'heir' is a person who is entitled under the laws of intestacy to receive an intestate decedent's property. A decedent is a person who has died. Therefore a person to whom you would be considered a legal heir would need to die in order for you to be classified as their heir. 'Heir' is sometimes used informally to describe a beneficiary under a will. Despite the fact that a person is named a beneficiary under a will they do not become a beneficiary until the testator has died and the will has been probated.

'Estate' has two common meanings: all the property a living person owns both real and personal, and, all the property that a person leaves after death.

You have no right to the property of a living person and you don't become an heir until they have died.

What if you are to receive something from a will how long is the process?

In the United Kingdom this process can take six months or more. An estate of a deceased person can not be divided up for at least the first six months after a death, this is to ensure that any person or company who may have been owed funds from the deceased persons estate has time to claim them. So really the earliest you can ever expect an inheritance in the United Kingdom is after six months, even then it will depend on how quick those looking after the estate act.

The administrator made you put your own beneficiary funds into the estate account advising it was required. Can you sue her for fraud or petition the court to remove her?

You haven't explained what the "beneficiary funds" consisted of or where you got them. If the funds came from a joint account with you and the decedent or from a "payable on death" account with you as the beneficiary the funds are not part of the probate estate. You should visit the court where the probate was filed immediately if you think you are a victim of fraud by the administrator. You can file a motion to have your question answered after a review by the court. If the administrator is mishandling the estate she can be removed and replaced by the court.You haven't explained what the "beneficiary funds" consisted of or where you got them.

What would happen to my bank accounts if I died?

The answer depends on what arrangements you make for the distribution upon your death.You can visit the bank(s) and arrange to designate a person or persons to receive the balance in the accounts upon your death. That way, the funds will pass automatically to the person(s) you have named.You can add someone you trust, and who you want to receive the funds upon your death, as a joint owner of the accounts. The joint owner will have access to the accounts during your life and become the sole owner upon your death.You can write a Last Will and Testament that leaves your accounts to the person(s) you have chosen to receive them. They will receive the balance of the funds after any debts have been paid.If you do nothing your heirs will need to probate your estate and after the payment of your debts the state will distribute your money according to the laws of intestacy.Lastly, if no one knows of your accounts and therefore no one claims them, after a statutory period, usually seven years, the accounts will be paid over to the state.
