Dad has about 5,ooo in a bank account. I'm dad oldest
daughter, and executrix of dad will. I also have a durable
power of attorney. Know that dad passed, his bank account
is frozen, how do I get the money to pay for dad funeral
being his money is in his savings account. I had the bank
account frozen being dad passed.
Thanks

Re: wills, and paying for funeral
Petition the Surrogates Court for an order to pay the funeral expense pending probate. Suggest you speak with the court clerk personally.
