How do I get money from my mother's account if I am the beneficiary?

Estate Planning lawyer at Bullivant Houser Bailey PC
Get a copy of her death certificate to the company with the account and fill out their paperwork. This assumes you are a named pay on death beneficiary. If not, you will have to do a probate, small estate affidavit, or company specific affidavit depending on the value of all her assets.

Wills and estate

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
To show that your father does not have legal capacity to make a Will, have him examined by a neurologist or other physician who completes a Physician's Certificate of Medical Examination or equivalent NYS document.  Note that some people in the early stages do have capacity to create a Will:  a statement that someone suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's is insufficient.  Note also that your father is under no obligation to tell any or all of his children what he is doing.
