If the account is a joint account with your mother, you and your brother, the surviving joint owners can close the account and share the balance. When the account was opened the three of you should have signed signature cards and all names should be listed as account owners. One or both of you should be able to simply make a withdrawal of the balance and close the account.

Can the lady friend of your just deceased uncle freeze his bank account?

If she is a joint account holder the account would now belong to her. If there is no joint account holder then the account would be legally frozen until an Administrator is appointed for your uncle's estate. Until then no one has any authority to access his bank account. You should make certain the bank has been notified of his death.

You have not disclosed whether your brother inherited an interest in the property, why he should leave the premises or what your position is. Generally, in the US, title to real estate passes to heirs at the moment of death. As soon as the estate is filed for probate legal title is perfected.

Should adult child of a deceased parent transfer savings account to the living parent?

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more information. Were you the Executor of the deceased's parent estate? Was the will probated? Who's name (or names) was the account in? Were the assets in the account addressed in the will? Is this question asking for a 'legal" opinion, OR, is it asking for an 'ethical' opinion? The above, while admittedly NOT a direct answer to the question, should give the questioner some "food for thought."
