I am trying to find out the legal responsibility of an executor in maintaining a property (house) of the deceased. Are they allowed to access money in the deceased current account either personally or by asking the bank or solicitor to pay any bills incurred since the death of the person? (ESB, Alarm monitoring,and heating oil), the house is unoccupied,.What is the position in regards to direct debits that are still being paid for the insurance of the property?
