Treasury reclamations and decedents’ accounts

Answered by:

Question:

If the money is not available in the deceased customer’s account and no estate account exists with the bank, is the bank still liable for reclamations from Treasury?

Answer:

Yes. Treasury rules include an obligation to refund wrongful payments. However, proper procedures can help reduce the bank’s liability.
