Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
My brother and I are co-executors of my mom's estate. We probated the will in NJ, the state where my mom died and where my brother lives. I live in MA. My mom's bank account that we need to close is a Citibank in NYC. Can I take the NJ probate letter and death certificate to a branch of Citibank in MA to close the account? And does my brother, co-executor, need to be present for that or for opening an estate account for which we are co-executors?
