[quote=Anonymous]You should tell Social Security when your mother dies. They will likely already have been notified by the hospital, hospice, Medicare, or funeral home, but it's good to cover your bases. If they still deposit money after she dies, leave it in the account--they will pull it back quickly (you can also tell the bank to send it back to SSA after she dies). Do not move it into another account. Do not close the account until after they pull it back. Note: people are only eligible for Social Security for months where they were alive the whole time. So if your mom dies in July, the payment that arrives in early August (which is actually a payment for July) will need to be pulled back. I am sorry for your impending loss. To your main question, no I would not get a will. If you are in DC, there is a probate resource center at the DC superior court and they can talk you through anything you'll need to do. [/quote]
