Your questions, step by step
Blocked accounts can cause extra concern after a death. We help you understand which documents the bank needs and which urgent payments you can discuss.
Why do I go to the notaire for this?
The bank must know who is authorised and which formalities are required. The office can determine the inheritance succession and assist in identifying any missing documents.
How are bank accounts released after a death?
Report the death to the bank and request their specific list of required documents.
Discuss urgent invoices and the required inheritance succession document.
Have the necessary instructions given by the authorised persons.
How does this proceed and how long does it take?
There is no fixed release period. It depends on the case, possible blocks and bank requirements.
Ask separately which urgent payments are already possible.
Which documents should I provide to the notaire?
What does the notaire do and investigate?
- Who inherits and who can give instructions?
- Which blocks and approvals apply?
- Which urgent costs can be discussed with the bank?
- What is needed for release and what remains for the division?
We agree on which searches the office will conduct and which information you, your bank or another expert will provide.
What do I check before the next step?
Release is not yet division. Check who must agree and which payments are made from the estate.
What else must I arrange afterwards?
Keep balances, payment proofs and statements. Coordinate closure of accounts, tax returns and division.
Which practical tips can help me?
Do not use the deceased's bank card or access code. Discuss payments directly with the bank.
What do these words mean?
- Release
- the bank allows transactions again once the conditions are met.
- Division
- the heirs receive their agreed or determined share.
Where can I find more explanation or help?
You do not have to phrase your question in legal terms. Tell what concerns you, what you want to arrange and if an important date is approaching.
We will look together at the next step. We agree in advance on how the office will assist you and what costs are involved.
