I/We hereby state that one of the joint Depositors Mr./Mrs. _______________ has expired on _____________ ('Deceased Depositor”). I/We request you to delete the name of Deceased Depositor and continue the FD in my /our name(s) with same mode of operations.

In general, you need your spouse's consent to remove them from a joint account. In most cases, either state law or the terms of the account prevent someone from removing the other person from a joint checking account without their consent. Some banks, though, may offer accounts where they allow this type of removal.

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.

I / We Request you to delete the name of deceased person and continue the account in my /our name(s) with same mode of operations. I / We submit photocopy of the following document(s) together with originals. Please return the original to us after verification.

If the checking account was in both his name and yours, just go to the bank with the death certificate. If it was in his name only and there is no named beneficiary, you need to go to probate court and ask to be named executor (or administrator, depending on state law). Or you can get a lawyer to be administrator.

If your husband passed away and you are not listed on his bank account, the account will likely go through probate unless it is a joint account or has a named beneficiary. Probate is a legal process where the court oversees the distribution of assets.
