Best Answer

If you are the executor/administrator of the estate just ask the bank for all information about any and all acounts he may have had including ones that have been closed out. You could also request copies of past monthly statements and 1099s. If you are not an executor, you will not be given any information by any banks. If you are a beneficiary of an estate and want to find out if there were any improper withdrawals or missing deposits, you could demand that the executor give you copies for your assurance. Generally only beneficiaries that receive a percentage of an estate may make that request. If a beneficiary is given an specific amount of money and is paid that amount, then the beneficiary has no right to that information. Dwpending on the state in which the decedent's estate is, there may be additional methods. This answer is not intended to give you every avenue available to you.

Can a cheque be paid into a deceased person's account?

This depends on when a check is presented to the bank. If a check is in the process of being cleared by the bank when a person dies, it will most likely still be deposited into the bank account. However, once the bank receives official notification, such as a death certificate, the account is closed or transferred to the beneficiary.

Bank savings account holder with deceased father will not in probate bank is saying paperwork not followed through on their end been doing transactions do you have a right to this account?

If the account was a joint account in your name and your father's name and he is now deceased then you are the owner of the account. ==Additional Answer== Probate is needed if you are not a holder of the account with your father, as you seemed to state in your question, and the account is in your father's name alone. Whoever files to open up probate will get a document called letters testamentary, and that person takes a certified copy of the letters testamentary to the bank and the bank will then issue a check to be distributed to the legal heirs.
