One thing for sure is that the bank will want to know the specific reasons for the removal request as the next-to-kin. Please let me know if any other documents are required for claiming the amount of deceased.Request you to kindly process the request on priority. Administration is the process where the Surrogate's Court officially gives out Letters of Administration to a qualified distributee (heir) of the Decedent. It is usually the next of kin but not always. The documents needed are a death certificate, residential proof, bank passbook, etc. Select your relationship to the owner in the dropdown and then select Next. The Petitioner must give notice of the probate proceeding to the decedent's next of kin and the beneficiaries of the decedent's will.
