This happens from time to time, especially when people don't have their documents properly organized and are then at different banks.

It is normal for banks that some accounts are never closed by the owner because the owner dies and no heirs come forward, because in that case, for example, it was only a secondary account at a second bank and they know nothing about the bank.

My grandfather has done a lot of preparatory work. According to him, there's a list of all the bank accounts, insurance policies, subscriptions, etc. in the safe (an aunt has the spare key), so we can sort through everything that needs to be canceled by category. Because he's experienced total chaos in inheritance cases too many times himself and wants to spare us that.

I also have all my important documents (accounts, insurance, etc.) together so that if something happens, my relatives can find everything quickly.

Yes, that certainly happens. A safe deposit box containing €43,000 was opened at our place, and no one responded. The mail was returned to an unknown address.

For example, after 10 years it turned out that the father had an uncovered account

I work in court, and through the probate office, you hear a lot of things. For example, about some secret second families, where the poor widow had a faint spell when it came out in court. Or things like, "Well, the first child is his, the second was from a vacation acquaintance, and the third is from the guy who lived in the same house with us for years."

Meine Freundin hatte schon zuvor Gerüchte zugetragen bekommen. Doch ihr Vater hat nie auch nur ein Wort darüber verloren, selbst auf dem Sterbebett schwieg er dazu. Wenn sie versuchte das Thema anzusprechen, dann schaffte er es immer dem auszuweichen.

Er hatte eine 2. Familie parallel. So richtig mit Kindern und allem drum und dran.
