I have a joint bank account with my mother. Will her inheritors (the people in her will) have to be notified of this account?

I'm not in New York. But a quick search for the Surrogate's Court forms seems to indicate that joint accounts have to be included in the inventory even though they might not transfer through probate.

Thank you Anteater.
