Dealing with the aftermath of a death

[onecent]

12. It is actually wise to keep at least one bank account open with the deceased name on it

for at least a year. Whey my husband died I left his name on the accounts (they are still there today) and that next year we both got that stimulus check
for $400? or 600 each, cannot remember, and I would have had trouble getting his check deposited to my bank especially if
the person doing the transaction doesn't know you. He passed 6 years ago and having his name on my checking account and
all the utilities makes me feel safer.

just an FYI.. Very good info, I'm going to print your info for my daughter, especially regarding the coffin. Thanks
