Father’s Joint account with executor Vs will
My Father passed away four years ago in NY, His will states that all property under his control at the time of his death is to be divided equally among his three children, He had told me this directly, and told me that there was "plenty of cash around" before he died. After he died, my sister who is executor of his will informed me that there was nothing (other than settlements due to mesothelioma cases) except his used car and that was sold to pay for his funeral. A recent accounting with the surrogates court on Staten Island shows that father had $300,000 in cash in a joint account (don't know if it is joint or whether she just has signatory rights) with my sister, an account I knew about and he had said was merely for convienience for her to pay his bills etc
