No it is not. Even if you were asked, you could always show a copy of your birth certificate. If you can't locate it, you can obtain a certified copy from the town clerk in the city or town you were born in.

The estate of the deceased. Also anyone that was listed as a co-signer or joint account holder.
If both names are listed on the account, YES. If only the deceased spouse was listed they will try to collect. They may try to file a claim against the estate. And if they estate is large enough they will succeed. After all, it is a legal debt and should be re-paid.

In New Jersey a car is the property of the person listed on the Certificate of Title. If the car is in the surviving spouse's name then it is not in the deceased spouse's estate. If the car was in the name of the deceased spouse, then it is in the decedent's estate, even if they both considered it to be the surviving spouse's car and was used solely by that spouse. The sole determining factor is whose name is on the Certificate of Title.
Yes, they certainly can. If they have a legitimate debt against the deceased, they file it with the executor. This will get paid before anything is distributed to the beneficiaries.
