Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah
My father died leaving a living trust that included a checking account where he was the only signer. The bank informed us that the account needs to be closed and a new account opened and that the trust would need an EIN. How does the trust obtain an EIN?

You can apply for an EIN online at the IRS's website. Here are two links that will take you there:
