Can heirs withdraw funds before the inheritance is declared?

Do not rely on an old card or power of attorney to withdraw the deceased's funds.

The bank requires proof of legal standing before disbursing the heirs' share, and there may be special procedures for specific expenses or cases; consult the bank instead of acting on your own.

The figures, fees and limits in this answer vary by bank and change over time — confirm them with your bank or the official source before acting.
