How Do I Open an Estate Account at First Western Trust?

What to know at First Western Trust

First Western Trust publishes nothing about opening a deposit account titled to an estate. Site-wide checks of myfw.com on 2026-07-16 -- the banking overview, the private banking page, the trust-and-estates page, the disclosures index, the Consumer Schedule of Fees, and the after-a-death article, plus domain-pinned searches for estate account, executor, personal representative, Letters Testamentary, deceased, fiduciary account, and deposit account agreement -- surfaced no estate-account product, no fiduciary ownership type, no document checklist, and no channel statement. The bank publishes no deposit account agreement on its website (the disclosures page lists only privacy, e-sign, digital-platform, and fee documents), so no fiduciary or estate ownership clause could be quoted. There is no online account-opening flow at all: the banking and private banking pages route prospective clients to a conversation with a relationship manager ("Let's have a conversation"), and the contact page uses a form plus local office listings. The Trust and Estate Solutions arm (corporate trustee, successor trustee, personal representative services) is a managed corporate-fiduciary offering, not a self-directed estate checking account for an outside executor. Whether First Western Trust opens estate-titled deposit accounts for court-appointed executors, and through which channels, is therefore unverified from primary sources; an executor would need to ask the Denver headquarters at (303) 531-8100 or a local office directly.
