Do you need to go through a judge? Can the Registrar of Probate provide evidence the bank will accept? I had to do this for my father when he died. I don’t remember the specifics, there was just enough money in his account to pay his last bills.

The judge is who insists I get a value of her bank account. The register is the go-between me and the judge. I have literally zero access to her bank account. No stub, no app on her phone, no username/password written down. I only know it exists because I found the card.
