What is the name of your state? West Virginia
My estranged mother died 1 week ago. I am the beneficiary on her insurance, so the funeral home contacted me to pay the amount that her insurance did not cover.
I found out that she had my name on her savings account, so the bank sent me a check with more than enough money to cover the balance of the funeral.
Along with the check the bank manager sent a note stating that there was a checking account too, but my name was not on it. She stated that for me to close the checking account that I need to send her a copy of the death certificate (which I will get in 2 weeks) and the executor papers.
I live in Washington State. Who do I need to contact in West Virginia to ask about executor papers? The funeral director suggested that I start calling probate lawyers. Is that what I need to do?
Sincerely,
Norman
