Could your surviving spouse lose access to your bank account after your death?
Many Texans assume that a joint bank account automatically passes to the surviving owner. In reality, that's not always the case.
In this video, Texas estate planning attorney Jared Norton explains why some bank accounts can be frozen after a death and discusses three common planning tools that may help avoid unnecessary probate delays:
• Payable-on-Death (POD) Designations
• Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship
• Revocable Living Trusts
Every family's situation is different, so it's important to understand which approach best fits your overall estate plan.
