If we die, will the books give our account $ to our spouses/beneficiary?

What if there is a death certificate - but no will? How can you prove that you are entitled to the money? I guess sharing the u/p-s with a close relative u trust, is not a bad idea

Pretty much everywhere except places with weak to no gambling commissions, it is no question about it that your beneficiary absolutely can claim the funds sometime after your death. For example: Lotteries & Gaming Authority, Malta (LGA) has a provision that after a certain period of time with no activity in your account they must close your account and issue you payment. If you can not be found your balance needs to be turned over to them (LGA), in which case they have a process to posting it in public record in hopes it will be found for future claim. If you look, most other commissions have rules and procedures that govern this exact situation.

1. Prepare an affidavit stating that there is no will, and you are next in line. Or
2. Get an order from probate court stating that there is no will, and all assets should be delivered to the executor (you).
