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

I would give them the Death Certificate as well. The bank is probably just following their internal procedures. While your lawyer is not wrong, it is going to be easier to just give the bank what it wants that to try to fight them on this. If it was something more expensive or complicated, I might challenge them. In this case, I would just give it to them. Perhaps they can make a copy of the original and give it back to you.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Estate Planning lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
On his death, the debt of your father would pass to his estate. If his life insurance is payable to a specific beneficiary or beneficiaries it would pass directly to the beneficiary and would not be subject to the claims of creditors.

If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Yes. If the house is still in probate, the ordinary and usual way to sell is for the personal representative (administrator) to petition the court for approval of the sale. Consent of all 6 not required. If it already is owned of record by 6 owners, they can file a suit for partition, and the court will order sale.
