FAQ

If the deceased person was the sole owner of the bank account and named a beneficiary, then the bank can release the funds to the beneficiary without probate. If there is no named beneficiary, then the bank will require probate before releasing any funds.

Respected Sir/Madam, I am writing to you with a heavy heart to inform you of the demise of my husband, Mr. Rajeev Singh, who had a savings account in your esteemed bank. It is a difficult time for our family, and I need to settle his financial affairs.

Often this requires providing evidence such as birth certificates or marriage documents. What's more, you may need to provide proof that no will exists, which could take quite some time if all family members cannot be located quickly or if relatives disagree over who should apply for the letters.

If you would like the court to appoint an administrator of the estate, that application must generally be brought within four years after the death of the decedent. The court will often ignore this rule if there is property due to the estate that needs to be collected by an administrator.

The beneficiary generally does not need to hire a lawyer or file anything in court to access the funds. They should be able to simply present the bank with proof of the death (e.g. a death certificate) as well as proof of their own identity, and the bank should release the funds directly to them.
