This; I was on all my Mom's accounts and was executor. I distributed the assets to myself and 2 brothers as called out in the will; per my lawyer and accountant. They recommended keeping any bank, brokerage or credit card accounts active for 6 months prior to closing in case there were any delayed credits, etc. If there are any insurance policies; death certificate will get you the proceeds. Biggest problem was getting Social Security and Veteran's benefits to stop sending funds.
Planning by being on accounts makes things very easy.
