This is sort of like one of those urban myths, guys. In actuality, when
someone dies their executor is supposed to cancel credit cards, bank
accounts etc. If no-one does, then indeed certain accounts can accrue
charges for fees.
The owner of the account being dead in no way absolves the owner's heirs.
Sorry about that, I sound bad tempered I know, and maybe I am after a
rotten day, but I had to say something.
