<div>Yes, the estate is solvent. Home of the decedent is going to be sold. However, the siblings do not get along so I am concerned that any of them could request disbursement, though that may not be an issue since the property will be put on the market. <br>

if the intent was for it to be split 5 ways, then the children should request the bank to issue 5 checks (or wire transfer, etc.) for 1/5 of the account to each of them.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;" class="yiv7711591994MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:black;">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?</span></div>
