Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
My mom passed away a year ago and I just recently used an heirship affidative to close out her checking account. The bank accepted the affidative and transfered the funds into a savings account for me apon my request. Over a week later I get a call from the bank stating that they where not supposed to accept this affidative and that they need a small heirship affidative now. Can they change their mind like that after the accounts closed?

Once the cat's out of the bag, it's difficult to catch and put back in, with that said, if the money is still in the same bank, they could move it back into your mom's name. A small estate affidavit and order is not that difficult to obtain if all the facts fict.
