I'll try to keep this as short as possible. A family member passed back in May and I was made the executor. Since then one of his bank accounts was frozen like normal after death but the other was still open and still receiving pension payments ( I didn't realise this till recent). Being caught up with grief , work etc I also didn't close the account out yet. But here's the big issue. As the executor and only beneficiary I was under the impression that it was okay for me to use his account and it apart of my PayPal wallet. For the last 6 months it has been being charged by multiple bills of mine etc and going through since he was still receiving deposits. I was aware of the charges but I thought I was using his life savings money not new pension money. Before anyone tells me, yes I am now aware that my order of operations was inappropriate and illegal I assume, but I want to make it clear that I in no way want to steal my family members pension money. I found the contact to the pension and sent the email to stop payments. My next plan is to go to the bank and closeout account .

Is there any chance I would be arrested when I go? Or even afterward? I am aware I will have to pay the money back and will gladly do so but I don't want to go to jail over a mistake. Or should I just not go and let it close out on its own?
