FAQ
Ans: - Depending on the amount of claim, the following documents need to be submitted. i) Photocopy of Death Certificate (original to be produced for verification by the bank). ii) Photographs and KYC documents of all the claimants/ legal heir(s), (Original documents to be produced for verification by the bank.)
Typically, a beneficiary can claim the proceeds from a payable-on-death account—sometimes called a “POD” account—by going to the bank with a death certificate and proof of identification.
When a person passes away, their assets are distributed in ance with either their estate plan or California's intestate succession laws. However, certain assets, including most bank accounts, can pass directly to beneficiaries, without the need for probate or the court's intervention.
Having a joint bank account with one or more parties (for example, a parent having a joint account with an adult child or children) allows the funds to go directly to the remaining owner(s) without going through probate.
Without initiating probate, the legal authority to access or transfer the deceased's assets is lacking. This means that bank accounts, real estate, and other valuable assets can't be legally accessed or transferred to beneficiaries.
In other words, heirs receive their inheritance at the end of the probate proceeding. Generally, this is at least 10-18 months after the probate petition is initially filed with the court. Once the judge has issued the order for distribution, estate heirs can expect to receive an inheritance check within a few weeks.
Individual Bank Accounts If the decedent owned a bank account and did not name a beneficiary, the account will probably have to pass through probate—the rigorous and time-consuming process whereby the court oversees the dissolution of an estate.
Who can access and close the deceased's bank account? The executor named in the will can do this, or if no executor has been nominated, the administrator (main beneficiary). They'll contact the bank in question with proof of death to begin the process. The Death Certificate is typically accepted as proof.
