What is the name of your state? Ohio
My husband is deceased and we had an revocable trust where I would get everything. I have the paperwork in the trust saying I get everything, but the bank won't let me deposit any checks in his name to our joint checking account and said I was to open an estate account. The bank where they open an estate account says I need a tax id number...my paperwork says my ssn is what I need since everything is going to me.
My question is what to I need to open an estate account and don't I use my ssn since no one else is getting anything. Can I do this on my own?
