If my deceased mother left me in charge of her checking account, is the money mine?
Question Details: My deceased mother left me benefeciary of her checking account and my sister the executor of the Will. Is the remaining balance in the account mine?
If your mother designated you with the bank as the beneficiary of her checking account where there are written documents dated and signed by your deceased mother that you are a joint account holder of this checking account, then by virtue of you surviving her, you are the owner of the entire balance remaining under her account.
