FAQ
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.
If there's no will, the bank could ask for evidence of your relationship to the deceased. You'll also need the death certificate. When you've registered the death, you will be issued with a death certificate. This will act as formal notification for the bank to begin closing the account.
If you are indeed designated as a beneficiary on the account, the bank will release the contents of the account to you. If you are unsure where the decedent banked, you may consider asking the decedent's family members, the executor/administrator of their estate or the trustee of their trust.
