Once a Grant of Probate has been awarded, the executor or administrator will be able to take this document to any banks where the person who has died held an account. They will then be given permission to withdraw any money from the accounts and distribute it as per instructions in the Will.
The basic starting position is that, like trustees, executors must act for free. They can be reimbursed for reasonable expenses such as, mileage incurred when carrying out their duties, but they cannot charge for their time. There are some exceptions to this.
If theres someone in your family who you think will handle the job well, it can be a good idea to have them as an executor. For example, its common to name one of your children, a niece or nephew or an adult grandchild.
If the deceased left a will, the executor named in the will has the authority to access accounts, but only after: The will has been validated through the probate process. The High Court has issued a Grant of Probate. The executor has presented this grant to the bank.
The first step to being selected as estate executor is filing paperwork with the probate court in the county where the deceased lived. In most cases, you will need to provide the original death certificate, the estimated value of the estate, and a list of any surviving family members and beneficiaries.
