My specific question is, Can she, the joint account holder as SURVIVOR with diseased FORMER, use the amount for her own only. If not, if same amount transferred in new account of her in same bank, and it is kept as such (not used), after informing the death of her father. Is she did any punishable offence? She was the only one who had taken care of her father at last time, treatment etc. so is she not eligible for more amount from other legal heirs? Is it not, that in joint account if FORMER dies, SURVIVOR has whole and sole power on that amount?
