Paying Expenses from Decedents Account

Answered by:

Question:

If you have a single party account without a POD, is there any law that states anything about paying funeral expenses or utilities of the deceased from this account?

Answer:

The resolution of this question will be based totally on state law. Some states make a limited provision for funeral expenses, while others do not.
