What happens when account holder dies?
If the deceased has named a beneficiary for the account, the person named will get access to it, but only after the probate process has concluded. If the deceased did not name a beneficiary or write a will, the probate court would name an executor to manage the distribution of the money after any debts are paid.

When a loved one dies in England or Wales, their bank will need to be notified so that they can freeze their account then ultimately close it and release the funds.
