Under the law, once a will has gone through probate and executor is appointed, should this be sufficient to access bank accounts?

Answered by attorney Nathan James Wagner (Unclaimed Profile)

Your lawyer is correct. However, if the bank will not accept the court order appointing you as executor, it's faster, cheaper, and easier to just provide them with a copy of the death certificate. Otherwise, you will have to haul them into probate court and have the court order them to recognize you as executor.

How do I get the home in my name if my mom moved out of her home before she died and I took over the home and the payments?

You will need to use the probate process. The correct process depends on whether or not your mom had a will and/or debts.
