Dear Client,

Bank can`t release money without succession certificate or Legal Heir certificate which will issue in the name of all four and equal distribution. 1/4th each.

Inform the bank and surviving legal heirs.

Dear Concern,

Please note that there can be no question of claiming the money without your consent, as it is illegal in the eyes of law. In case, the father has left a will, etc the money remained in the account goes to the concerned person whose name appears in it. Whereas, in absence of it , as probity would guide it the said money should be divided amongst all equally.

They cannot collect the amount without your consent, the bank wont release the fund till NOC or presence of all the legal heirs is there, or the bank shall ask for a succession certificate in which you need to be made party.

Write an application to the Bank Manager that the bank must not make any payment to your sisters without taking your consent.

Thereafter, you must initiate a proceeding before Administrative General at High Court, Allahabad to a Letter of Administration relating to the deposit with bank. You may take help of me as i'm practicing at HIGH COURT, ALLAHABAD. I want to assure you that no one can take the payment of any deposit with bank without your consent.

Hello

The money in the account cannot be taken out without the succession certificate which shows the legal heirs after your father. The advocate is misleading you. They cannot do it.

1. First of all inform the Bank that your father has died sending it the copy of his death certificate and also asking the bank not to disburse the amount left by your late father in his account or any part thereof to anybody without your written consent.

2. Up to Rs.10 Lakhs, PSU Banks allow withdrawal and partition based on legal heir certificate and beyond Rs.10 Lakhs, all of you shall have to obtain Succession Certificate from the Court.

Hello,

You must file an injunction about the same . But a letter to the bank for not releasing any money from the bank will suffice . Bank will not disburse the amount until you or any of the claimant provide succession certificate.

Firslty, as you have stated in your query that others are showing their right over the property without your consent.

Secondly, you all need to get the legal hire certificate from the Tehsildaar of your district for which if you are not there then you NOC would be requir d by then to claim your right as their right.

Thirdly, I advice you to file a suit for permanent injunction from de- sealing of the bank account till the time your share also not be decided by them in their suit by making a party in that suit also.

1. Serve a Proper Restraining Notice and additionally a Caveat to the Bank, against disbursement of the deceased accounts balance, without your written consent. Bank CANNOT settle "PARTIAL" claims from the deceased accounts.

2. Also periodically file a Caveat in the local jurisdictional civil court, praying that any such matter may not be decided before hearing you.

3. File Civil Suit for claiming your share of amounts from the deceseads bank accounts and other assets.

You can send a legal notice to the Bank manager about thuis intimating the death of your father and not to disburse the money to anyone until the succession certificate is produced, you may apply for succession certificate and on submission of the same to the bank, you may get your share alone.

The other 3 sisters advocate is saying he will take the money of the account and leave our remaining money in the account and then we have to struggle to take it.

You also engage the services of an advocate and issue a legal notice to the bank in this regard as suggested.

They cannot take away the money just like that.

You will get your share in money. Bank will ask them legal heir certificate or succession certificate to verify their claim.

So no need to worry. You can go to bank and let them know that you are also a legal heir.
