It seems horrible to be even thinking about financial stuff right now but my mum is driving herself crazy trying to sort out paperwork after my lovely dad died last week .
Basically most of his bank accounts are in a joint name with my mum. But my dad has a few in his own name and if my brother who is disabled automatically gets some money from Dad's single account ( which he could as no will) then he could lose his benefits.
Is there anyway mum can transfer it into her name as she is next of kin? There are national savings certificates of £10k and an ISA.
Any advice at all would be much appreciated.
