Yes, this must go through probate. The only exception is if you are already a joint account holder or if she had an "in the event of death" beneficiary on the account with your name on it.

As an individual, you generally do not have an automatic right to access or view your deceased parent's checking account. After their death, the account typically becomes part of their estate, which is subject to the probate process. Only the appointed executor or administrator of the estate would have the legal authority to access and manage their financial accounts.


How do you separate your Gmail accounts?

If you have more than one brand of browser installed, you can navigate to a different account through each browser. For instance, you could access account #1 through Internet Explorer, access account #2 through Google chrome, account #3 through Opera, account #4 through Firefox, and so on. Another way would be to access your Google mail account via an email client, having enabled the POP access under your Google mail settings. Most email clients will allow you to configure multiple accounts. You could combine the two, and have some accounts configured in your email client, while accessing the rest through your browser(s).
