A deceased person's bank account is inaccessible unless you're a joint owner, a beneficiary of the account or the estate executor.
They must notify the bank about the death by furnishing death certificate, ID proof, and account details (if they know).
Bottom Line. Beneficiaries are named people who take ownership of a financial account after you die. If you die without naming a beneficiary, your bank account will transfer through your will and through probate law, as appropriate.
The bank is likely to ask for two forms of your identification (usually a passport or driver's licence, or a proof of address with a utility bill) and a copy of the will. If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate.
If you want a final settlement of the joint account of your parents, then you will have to write a letter to the bank informing them about their deaths. The documents needed are a death certificate, residential proof, bank passbook, etc.
