    Withdrawing funds from a dead aunties account
    If probate is granted on my aunties estate can my wife withdraw all funds from aunties account as she is the only named on the bank book that is still alive ?

    Depends on how her name is on the account. If its as a joint tenant especially with right of survivorship, she can withdraw the money without probate. However, if the estate is under probate and she isn't a joint tenant, then only the executor can approve a withdrawal.
