Do brokers refund after a trader dies?

I have been wondering, do brokers refund a client after a year or more of inactivity? If a trader dies, what happens to the funds in his brokerage account? Is it refunded or lost forever?

I suppose the funds may be transferred to legal heirs of the deceased as determined by the order of a competent court.

Most if not all brokers have inactivity fee, I use Oanda and the inactivity fee starts after 2 years of the account having no activity

Hi! How much do they charge? $10 each month after 2 years?

Yes, $10

Solely depends on the broker you are choosing.

It all depends on the legal terms and conditions of every broker.

It is worth recalling that almost in any company at the time of account replenishment or already at the stage of registration, a person provides his passport and other data (verification) and it is normal, correct practice. Accordingly, in order to collect money from such a company after the death of the immediate client of the company, you must provide data on his death and relevant documents confirming that you are entitled to use the financial assets and liabilities of the deceased person. Any lawyer can tell you more about this.
But in fact, if you cooperate with a dishonest brokerage company - then they simply will not respond to your requests and will find a million reasons why they can not give you the funds. But that's a whole different story.
