Anyone whose name is on the bank account can access it. The executor can access on behalf of the estate. They will have to show their letter of authority.

How does an executor of a will administer the proceeds?
Usually there is a bank account set up by the Executor for the Estate of the deceased. Into this account all other bank accounts and savings can be added by the Executor as well as any death benefits payable, Tax credits or returns, etc., and proceeds of sale of the deceased person's house (if applicable). Once all expenses are paid out from the monies, IE cost of funeral, lawyer fees, Executor fees, loans, lines of credit, etc., the monies can be divided amongst the beneficiaries according to the provisions of the Last Will and Testament. This can be done by way of certified cheque, bank draft, money order, or cheque from the Estate account, etc., however the Executor deems appropriate. The beneficiaries are sometimes asked to sign releases after they've received their bequests and after all the monies are paid out, the duties of the Executor are complete.
Can an executor force a beneficary to release monies left to them?
The monies are not the property of the beneficiary until the executor has released them. Any assets of the deceased have to be provided to the executor for inventory and valuation. Only once the debts have been settled can things be released.

What does it mean to freeze assets and bank account?
It means, someone has put a blocker on your assets and bank accounts. It means, you cannot withdraw cash, make any transactions on the account, or sell any of those assets until further notice. This usually happens when law enforcement authorities suspect any illegal activities on your accounts. For ex: if they feel that you are harboring terrorists, they can freeze all your assets and bank accounts until you are proven innocent.
