Treasury reclamations on 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.
