FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What does an estate lawyer do after someone dies? Estate lawyers primarily help clients plan for how their property and assets will be distributed after death. While some assist with probate, most of their work focuses on creating wills and trusts before a client passes away. Who notifies the bank when a person dies? Usually, the executor of the estate is responsible for notifying the bank. However, if the account is jointly owned or has a designated beneficiary, that person may also contact the bank to report the death. What happens to a deceased person’s bank account? If the account has a joint owner or designated beneficiary, the funds typically transfer directly to them and bypass probate. If there’s no beneficiary or survivorship clause, the money becomes part of the estate and is distributed according to the will or state law. Does an estate lawyer handle probate or trust administration? Typically, no. Estate planning lawyers focus on preparing wills and trusts, while probate or trust administration is handled by specialized probate or trust attorneys. Can an estate lawyer handle will contests or trust disputes? No, these matters should be handled by a probate litigation lawyer. Probate litigation attorneys are experienced in resolving complex disputes that arise during estate or trust administration.
