[quote=Anonymous]When my parent died, they had pre-paid about $10,000 worth of expenses but there were some additional costs I had to pay with a check at the time of death when we made arrangements. They didn't take credit cards. Most around here probably do though.

The life insurance took several weeks to make payment (because you have to wait for the death certificate to be issued and then fill out forms and wait for a check).

I was listed as the beneficiary of their checking account and got that money once the death certificate was issued as well. I was able to reimburse myself for funeral expenses once I was named official executor and had a checking account set up, but that took about 4-6 weeks in our case.

Its a confusing process at an emotional time. I think if you are concerned about the money, have your mother give you $10,000 and put it in a separate account that you can access if you need to pay for things. We had to take over payments of home utilities, income taxes, etc. for example, immediately. [/quote]
