Re: wills
The will should be probated. At very least, having the will probated will establish title to the house, and the banks will be more likely to cooperate with you in transferring the accounts. If there are no estate debts, then there is a summary proceeding that can be done in probate court called a muniment of title.
Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.
