If that is all your son left, you may not need to go to court but you will need to file a Small Estate Affidavit, wait for the judge's signature and find a bank which will accept it.  In any event, we have had independent administrations in Texas since 1843.  Probate here is neither as expensive nor as time consuming as you may imagine.

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

Give the Bank what they want. It is not worth fighting with them. Just calling your attorney has cost you more than the cost of the death certificate. Many institutions will require the death certificate.

Do I have any rights to my step dad's estate if I have been taking care of him?

James Brian Thomas
Answered by attorney James Brian Thomas (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Burdette & Rice, PLLC
Claims against an estate for family caregivers can be challenging to deal with, since there is rarely any sort of a formal agreement like you might find in any other creditor/debtor relationship. However, you may certainly have such a claim for reimbursement and you should seek the aid of a local probate attorney to assist you. With regard to the division of your step-father's estate, and whether or not you might be entitled to some part of it as an heir, the answer depends upon several facts that you don't really develop through your question. Again, a probate attorney can help you begin to sort through the issues and it sounds like there are many of them.
