Re: settle small estate
You might be able to do a Small Estate Affidavit, if there are no debts.
Check with the bank re: what they would like to see. Sometimes they'll have a specific form, otherwise an heirship affidavit should work.
On the life insurance, most companies are satisfied with a death certificate and a beneficiary claim form, again check with the company as to what they need.
