Hi all,
So my dad passed away last week after a 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s. We now have to sort out his money situation and wondered if anyone could help me! He has been self funded in the care home for the last 5 years and has roughly £70000 left in the bank which is a joint account with myself as poa. That is all he has, no savings or house. Do I need probate? Or will his name just be taken off the joint account and then I have to pay funeral and divide the remainder according to his will?
I am off to see the bank on Wednesday I was just wondering in the meantime.
Thanks
