The beneficiaries have no authority as to how an estate is to be handled. That is the duty of the executor or executrix who will be held personally and legally accountable to the court for all assets and property belonging to the deceased. Therefore the executor has a legal obligation to inventory ALL property and assets and to accurately enter them into the probate filing of the estate.

Do you need a will to cash in your fathers savings bond he is deceased?
The bond likely has a Social Security number on it, so, it will be impossible for you to cash it, without makeing it part of the estate and having the executator do it. Even if they are broke, that doesnt mean you cannot cash him/her out. You can electe an executor, and they can pay bills (or debts) from the money in the estate. I've never really seen executors get sued by anyone other then relatives, who feel slighted. -- If they did not have a will, then they have the default will. (There is a default will in every state).
