What to do if my mom passed on and had a savings and checking account?
Question Details: I am on the accounts and have a signature card. She had no Will. Can I close the accounts out and split the money with my sister? Do I have to report it to a probate judge or court?

Yes you can close the account and split proceeds with sister; no probate is necessary; bank will want identification and a copy of certified death certificate of mother.
