When a person dies are the banks allowed to freeze investment accounts while going through probate?

It mostly depends on how the various accounts are setup. If an account has only one name associated with it and that person dies, the account is frozen while proceeding through probate. Same is true if the title owners of record on the account read John Doe and Jane Doe, which requires a dual signature in order to retrieve funds. If the owners of record are listed as John Doe or Jane Doe, the the spouse has Survivor rights and can access it freely.
These rules can change from one institution to another and it is always wise to contact those institutions as well as get sound legal advice from a law professional.
