It is possible; however, the attorney may not be aware of every bank account. Joint accounts and accounts with beneficiaries may not have been mentioned, or certain accounts may be part of the residuary estate. Locating and safeguarding estate assets will be the responsibility of the designated Personal Representative after your father dies.
