Only if one of the heirs was specifically named as a joint owner of the account(s). Otherwise, only the "Executor" of the deceased's estate could obtain them. However, if the deceased died without a will ('Intestate') the heirs could eventually obtain the banks records via an order of the Probate Court.

Generally, not if the surviving joint owner is living. If the Survivor has died then some qualified person must petition the court to be appointed the estate representative. Letters will be issued by the court that will give the appointee the authority to access the bank account.

Do you need an executor of estate form for a deceased parents medical records?

No, you do not need an executor of estate form specifically for accessing a deceased parent's medical records. Most states have laws that allow the next of kin or a designated representative to request and access the medical records of a deceased individual. However, you may need to provide proof of your relationship and may be required to fill out certain forms or provide documentation to the healthcare provider or institution. It is best to contact the healthcare provider directly to understand their specific requirements.

Should adult child of a deceased parent transfer savings account to the living parent?

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more information. Were you the Executor of the deceased's parent estate? Was the will probated? Who's name (or names) was the account in? Were the assets in the account addressed in the will? Is this question asking for a 'legal" opinion, OR, is it asking for an 'ethical' opinion? The above, while admittedly NOT a direct answer to the question, should give the questioner some "food for thought."

Can the executor of the will put the parent in a home?

No. As the executor of a will, your role as executor is not triggered until the party who named you executor dies.
