A foreigner passed away outside of the UK but left a bank account inside of the UK, The money has to be passed to his/her spouse outside of the UK. What is the most economic way to do this? Does the deceased foreigner have to register the death in the UK authority etc. etc.?
You probably won't need to register the death with the government authorities.But I expect the bank will need to see at least a copy of the Death Certificate and probably also the foreign will.They may want the will to be resealed here (i.e officially authenticated) Depends on which foreign country we are talking about and what the deceased's domicile was.This is a specilaised area.Ask the bank first and then a specialist in foreign wills.

The legal process of the distributing of the estate of a deceased individual is known as probate.
Probate is often a time-consuming and confusing process for those who are involved.
Most people lack a knowledge of the probate process because of inexperience with the process.
Probate is rarely easy, an adequate knowledge and understanding of the process can help decrease stress, and increase your confidence that everything is being done properly. Anyone involved in probate should understand the following:
1 – In cases where a valid will exists, the individual named in the will as the executor is responsible to see that the deceased?s instructions are carried out.
2- In cases where a valid will does not exist, an individual will be appointed by the court as the administrator. The administrator will perform the duties of the executor.
3 – During probate creditors of the estate are provided with an opportunity to place claims for unpaid debt. The validity of those claims is determined by the court. Any claims that are valid will be paid out of the estate.
4 – Probate court is the home of the probate process. Laws and procedures vary from state-to-state. Some states have courts with the sole responsibility of overseeing probate.
5 – Although the length of probate will vary, it will usually last for six months to one year. More complex estates will typically take a greater amount of time.
6 – Inheritance cash advances are available for heirs to estates in probate. Cash advances provide part of the inheritance upfront and help the heir to avoid the long wait required by probate.
