Hi Lynne: Great and informative blog.My husbands uncle died recently. He had all the necessary documents but I guess in their mind the estate was not worth their time. Your mother's money wasn't safe because your brother is a crook. We have had nothing but problems with this bank and I was advised by our attorneys to open an account with my own bank who I was familiar with. CIBC requested personal ID documentation for each and every beneficiary on the account which I supplied although I was hesitant to believe the Money Laundering Act actually requires it. The bank also notified me that they can't open an account in branch and I would have to wait 2 weeks for the estate account to be set up. The bank will probably insist on having both signatures if the account is set up to require both signatures. Since I am solely responsible for doing this, am I able to disburse some of the funds right away as long as enough is left in the account to cover income tax and any unpaid bills? The bank has an account for which there is no online access? Hi there If I was listed as executor as per cra but they dont give you anything to prove that, can I still open the account get the refunds from cra and close the account without this probate? I charge $400 for that.Lynne. He had no will.

Since 2007 it has been the law in Canada that joint accounts between a parent and an adult child that were set up for the purpose of avoiding probate are not true joint accounts and must be paid into the estate of the parent. What if the deceased's will names you as the "Estate Trustee"?I'm starting to work on settling my mother's estate and one of her financial institutions is asking for a CAET "Certificate of Appointment as Estate Trustee". I just received an insurance cheque made out to " The Estate of ". My mother being executor & beneficiary of all his assets, we did not think probate was necessary, so no application has been made.

Nobody but a judge can decide whether a decision made by your mother close to her death is a valid decision or not.I'm absolutely horrified by this story.

You can open an estate bank account after initiating probate and petitioning the court for formal recognition as executor or administrator. The bank has all information needed, and said that it should only take a day or two to have funds transferred. It has been over 2 weeks now, I have not heard from the branch and I have no access to anything online.My question is why am I being denied any access what would be happening to the accounts that I can't access them and what is taking so long? I was told by a local lawyer that if there were no assets that there would be no point spending approximately $3500.00 dollars to become an administrator. Then all of a sudden none of the kids will get the joint accounts any more. Every bank will have an estate department that deals with death and living wills. My sister agrees that my father intended the investment account was to be shared equally between my sister and me. I think that's all they've been used for to date.

However, keep in mind that as an executor, your obligation is to wind up the estate as efficiently and quickly as possible. I was then told a few months ago that it reverted back to the estate because the change was made too close to her death and I have been asking for answers on this for months and finally received a reply that there were more recent documents that changed it back to the estate. What if my sister didn't put my name (co-executor) n the account? Do I just issue cheques from the estate account and the cancelled cheque is proof? Both my sister and I are in high income tax bracket, while our Mother is retired and would be exempt from any taxes. Because the cheque is written to your father's estate, it wasn't a part of the joint bank account and won't pass automatically to your mother.The bank's interest is, of course, to minimize its own risk in releasing this money to your mother. Unfortunately, often the only feasible solution is for the accountant to prepare worksheets, pieced together from whatever data can be determined, allocating assets and incomes into pre- and post-death portions, for reasonable, if not precise, tax reporting. For example, some estate accounts are restricted in a way that allows deposits but no withdrawals can be made without a court order. Lynne.

I was told by a lawyer that since the death happened in Quebec (where he was living), that I do not have to put the money through probate in BC, No, you should not need probate if the estate was handled in Quebec. Is this an honour system, or does the bank verify estate accounts by looking at the will? You can apply for an ID number online, at www.irs.gov. They will not liquidate any account of any kind worth $500,000 without either probate or Letters of Administration. I don't know of any law that prevents a bank from rejecting any particular ATM deposit.

Also consider the fact that when a lawyer holds funds in trust, the interest earned on the funds is paid to the Law Foundation and not to clients.

You need to realize that if this goes sideways, YOU are the one who will get the blame, not them. I have having some real tough issues with TD Bank. The lawyer suggested it might be more efficient to use the law firm's trust accounts. It must be a policy that TD has established. I have dealt with two CIBC staff and have been promised a CIBC Manager but no Manager has yet contacted me.Is CIBC correct in making asserting they are making lawful requests identification of beneficiaries and for requiring each and every beneficiary to appear at a CIBC branch, identify themselves and completing account application forms? Hi LyneI am the executor of my mother's estate . Yep. Do I have any rights? is, however I am just doing it myself to save money as everything was straight forward and I am paying all bills as they come in. You're in charge of the account, not them.

Again, absolutely unacceptable.The situation needs to be cleaned up, and the quicker the better. My brother lives two provinces away. I was told we can't do this unless we have a probabated will. Hello. Or do they receive (in my case, beneficiaries are to receive monthy from estate) beginning when the funds are ready to be dispursed? I'm in Alberta. Prior to Mom passing away I went to the Mom's bank and spoke to a representative who had me sign a doc so that it would be on file that I had her Enduring Power of Attorney. My sister now refuses to sign a bond of indemnity to the bank to have it replaced even though I went as far as convincing the bank to put my name on the bond too, which they don't have to. I have some Estate litigation lawyers names but want to know if I can realistically get her to replace that cheque so I can have my money.

Some are told they need the original will, many are told they have to get probate first, and some are told they need the consent of beneficiaries. CIBC had no problem setting up an estate account on provision of the will; RBC would not do that without probate. For example, are any beneficiaries pushing for an immediate distribution?

The alberta bank is insisting on probate. A friend passed and named myself or my husband executor and also sole beneificiaries. Perhaps the house would fetch more if it were repaired and restored, but the executors will have to balance that off against the cost of repairs, the cost of insurance and property tax during that time, the odds that the market will stay strong, how much of a gain in price there is likely to be, and the patience (or lack of it) on the part of the beneficiaries.
