Yes. However, if the survivor was placed on the account for convenience purposes, to pay the bills, and it was not the intent of the decedent that the survivor inherit that bank account, it will belong to the Estate. Let me know if you need my assistance in the probate of the Estate or if you are threatened by the Estate representative for taking the money. John Tatone - 586-580-8850
