What happens when a co-owner of a bank account dies?
When a co-owner of a bank account dies, the handling of the account typically depends on the account's ownership structure and local laws. In many cases, if the account is set up as a joint account with right of survivorship, the surviving co-owner automatically gains full ownership of the account. If not, the account may need to go through the probate process, and the deceased's share may be distributed according to their will or state intestacy laws. It's advisable to notify the bank promptly and provide necessary documentation, such as a death certificate, to manage the account appropriately.
