When someone dies in Scotland, their bank accounts are usually frozen until an executor is legally confirmed through the court process of “confirmation.” Joint accounts may continue as normal, but sole accounts are locked until the estate is officially administered. Understanding your rights and the legal process early can help avoid delays and stress during an already difficult time.
