Legal Question in Banking Law in New Jersey

My parents lived in USA approx 16 years. Had a chase bank account here. Moved back home to uk but kept account open to give granddaughters birthday money. My dad passed 2 years ago and my mom passed 2 weeks ago, both in uk. How can I close the account as it is in their names? Can I do it or do I need a lawyer.
