DO NOT LEAVE A BANK ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME INSTEAD DO THIS. I'm sorry sir, but after your wife passed, we had to freeze all of her bank account. What? But that's my wife. I'm on her will. Sorry, but unfortunately, a will isn't enough. You'll need to hire a lawyer and pay for probate. Dang. Well, is there anything I could have done to avoid this? Yes, you guys should have set up a POD. POD, what's that? It stands for payable on death and allows you to add a beneficiary to any of your bank accounts and avoid probate. Is that expensive? Nope, it's free to set up and you don't need an attorney. Wow, only if I knew this sooner, but who taught you this? Noah did. That's why I follow him.
