Depending on the amount of money, some qualified family member must request to be appointed the Administrator of the estate. There is usually an expedited process for small estates. You need to inquire at your local probate court.

In most jurisdictions, when a person dies without a will or next-of kin, their estate is disposed of by a civil process. A bank account is considered part of that estate.

The civil process attempts first to satisfy the deceased's creditors, then distribute the remaining assets according to that jurisdiction's civil code.

Some States and Provinces have time limits after which unclaimed or undistributed estates revert to the government.
