It'll help you learn how to do things properly and legally, and whether you can handle it yourself or if you need a lawyer. Note that many things will be specific to the state where your father lived. | |
| Nov 18, 2018 at 22:36 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Transferring the money sounds like a bad idea. The bank is eventually going to find out that he died, and when. They'll know that the transfer was after his death, and that nobody but him was authorized to make transfers. It sounds like a recipe for big legal trouble for you. | |
