Proposition de loi visant à interdire les prélèvements de frais sur les comptes bancaires de défunts

This is a private member's bill tabled in the French National Assembly (15th legislature) that would prohibit banks from charging fees on the bank accounts of people who have died. The title suggests it targets the practice of continuing to debit maintenance charges and other fees from accounts after the account holder's death, while estate settlement is pending. Based on metadata only; the full text and its exact provisions were not reviewed. The bill would mainly affect banks and credit institutions operating in France, as well as heirs and families handling the estates of deceased relatives. If adopted, account fees could no longer be deducted once the holder has died, potentially reducing costs for estates.
