Executor account request

Complete this form to convert an existing qualifying account into an Executor or Administrator's account

Executor account

An Executor account will allow you to:

  • collect incoming funds (like income from investments or the sale of assets) and pay any bills, debts, and expenses related to the estate efficiently
  • hold funds before 'Confirmation'* is granted, making you better prepared to distribute funds when the 'Grant of Confirmation' is complete

    *In Scotland the UK probate process is called 'Confirmation'.
  • keep detailed records of all transactions to help ​you comply with the legal requirements for managing an estate.​

Steps

  1. Open a new account from the following qualifying accounts:
    Classic account, Access Saver, or Advantage Saver.
  2. Complete this form to request a conversion of the account to an Executor account.

Who should complete this form?


If you're the executor to an estate, you can complete this form if:

  • you want to act as the first signatory on the Executor account
  • you're happy to be the registered correspondent for the account
  • you haven't opted out of being an executor during the granting of confirmation
  • you've opened an account that can be converted for this purpose.  

Completing this form

This application is to convert an existing qualifying account, which should have been opened for this purpose. We will ask you for these existing account details as part of this application.

This form can be completed to convert an account for two executors. If you need more than two executors, you'll need to visit a branch to complete.

A named executor/administrator can decide to opt out if they don't want to be named as an account holder. There must be at least one named executor/administrator on the account.
