The answer depends upon how the account was titled. Was it joint tenancy? Was it transfer on death? Was it subject to probate? Were you named as a beneficiary of the account? It would be best to inquire of the financial adviser, and if that person can't give you a direct answer you should consult with an attorney experienced in probate matters.
