[WSBAPT] Direct deposit payments in probate

[Lisa E Schuchman]

When Social Security or a pension or annuity has made a direct deposit to the account of a person who died during the month of receipt, the recipient is not entitled to keep the money.  I'm working on a probate where the company didn't discover the death till after the decedent's accounts were closed.  Do you usually send them a Notice to Creditors?  Or are they treated differently?

Thanks.
