Hello. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your husband.
If this is the only asset that you are dealing with, you may be able to open a small probate estate and obtain a Petition and Order for Assignment to receive the funds. The value of the asset must be under $24,000, which I would expect with a HSA. You would also have to prove that his funeral bill is paid and provide a receipt.
