Not where the person physically died, but in the state in which the decedent was domiciled at his/her death. Example: Decedent was domiciled in New Jersey but died at his summer residence in Florida. The original probate should be in New Jersey. If that residence has to be sold by a duly appointed executor in Florida, ancillary probate is issued. This entails getting a certified or authenticated copy of the will that was probated in New Jersey and offering it for probate in Florida with a request that the New Jersey executor be appointed executor in Florida in order to selll the Florida property.

If the person who died is your spouse and there is no will - yes.If the person who died is your relative and has an estate, then their part of the account (50% unless there's some sort of document that proves he / she owned more or less than 50% of the account) would go to the estate and not available to you. If the person has no estate and is unrelated to you (I believe) the State of residency for the deceased would get it throught the unclaimed property laws.
