Unable to open a simple estate account

My company is busy finalising a deceased estate.

We opened an estate account with Absa seeing as the deceased had accounta with Absa.

It was our mistake to believe it will be easier and more streamlined to open this account with Absa seeing as the deceased already had his accounts with Absa.

The estate account is open yes, however the deceased's accounts is still not closed and the balance is still not transfered to the state account.

The estate account is reflecting a zero balance for more than a week now as a result.

Thanks to your incompetence we are unable to proceed with this estate. Shame on you.
