What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?Florida
My father recently passed away leaving me a pod beneficiary for several bank accounts. Due to another relative barring me access to any of his records, I only just found out about another account marked as pod, I just don't who is was designated to yet. The problem is, this checking account w/ Sun Trust pays the mortgage payment on the house automatically every month, four payments since his passing. And since there was little money to begin with, now there is no money left in the account at all. As I said, I only just found about the account so as far as know the bank has not yet been informed of his passing and the mortgage payments continued as if he were still alive. My question is, if I am the beneficiary to this account, am I entitled to the money left in the account at the time of his death BEFORE the mortgage payments were taken out?
