Old Bradford & Bingley savings account

[Audicab]

I have recently found an old savings book for a Bradford & Bingley account that my gran had. I don't believe this has been closed and still has £6,000 in it. My gran died 10 years ago and the account was set up 25 + years ago.

Do old accounts still stay active, is it a question of walking into a Santander branch (who I believe took over B&B)and getting the money or is there a seperate organisation I have to contact to claim old funds.

If anybody could let me know their experience it'd be great.

Cheers

Thanks Foxhound, if the account is shut and the money transferred is it still possible to get the money back and how difficult a process is it.

I am going to the bank later today and do have the death certificate and paper trail to say that I was the executor of the estate which should be enough for them to talk to me.

Thanks
