How do I open an ‘Estate of’ account?
An ‘Estate of’ account can only be opened by the Executor(s) or other Legal Representative(s) of the deceased. It can be opened at any bank or other financial institution including Defence Bank.
See further information and the application form to open an ‘Estate of’ account with Defence Bank.
A Tax File Number (TFN) for the Estate may be required. Please refer to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for advice on how to apply.
