The credit union can only discuss the account of a deceased member with the legal representative of the decedent’s estate or surviving joint account holder(s). To gain access to any individual owned account(s), you must contact the Surrogate’s office in the county where the decedent resided at the time of their death, be appointed the legal representative, and provide the credit union with a Surrogate’s Certificate. Without this, we will not be able to release any account information.

If you were a joint account holder, you will need to provide a copy of the decedent’s death certificate as well as either an L-8 or Affidavit of Domicile described below.
