Once we’ve placed a hold on the deceased’s account(s) you’ll only be able to make withdrawals for funeral expenses (including headstones) and approved debts. These may include:  

• hospital or medical expenses accrued up to 6 months prior to the deceased’s passing 
• outstanding debts owed to Federal, State, Local Government, Semi-Government or Public Utilities (e.g. telephone and electricity) accrued before the deceased’s passing.
• rates and insurance premiums in the deceased’s name (e.g. Home, Contents or Vehicle Insurance).
• partially paid shares
• any fees for Probate costs when presented as an itemised invoice on a company letterhead. Unfortunately, we can’t pay for any legal fees incurred during this process.
