<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 841907, member: 4552"]As I said I really hate to drag this one out BUT, just how does the banks find out who is dead? For some reason people think the government, banks, savings and loans, etc have a staff of people sitting around trying to find out who is and who isn't dead. Why every one knows every bank has a person that sits and reads the obit columns and then compares with all their records to see if any of them are or were customers. This is completely illogical. It's only if someone tells the bank to freeze an account they could know about a death in the family if that was the reason. I know for a fact where I live the only way a safe deposit box is conficated is due to lack of payment for that rental. If someone continues to pay for a box, it could stay as is for the next ten thousand years for all the bank cares. </p><p>And unless the IRS, CIA, FBI, etc. have your house bugged to find out who died, NO ONE really cares. And note too, that in almost any state, if you or your family do not notify the newsmedia of a death, there will be nothing in the obits about it. No newsmedia has a person on staff just trying to find out who is and who isn't dead yet. And the dead sure will not notify them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
