[WSBARP] Jt with Rt of Survivorship Acct.

[Mario Ledesma, Attorney]

Hello,
I just filed a petition to probate a will.  The personal representative just found out the decedent's bank account, (his mother) has the five children on as joint with right of survivorship.   I expect the bank will disburse the account funds (approximately $300,000) equally between the children.  Actually, I'm surprised the bank has not done it already, the decedent passed away February 14, 2022.   Am I missing something?

Thank you!
Regards,
Mario Ledesma
