My father added yonger brother's name in joint account

Dear Hardij,

The mode of Holding/ Operation in Bank account has no bearing on the property/will of the executor

As per banking norms, In a Joint account, after the death of the First holder, the benefits/rights are transfered to the Joint holder in the account, on the presentment of proper documents/Certificates and certain formalities.

On the death of both the holders, the benefits will go to the Nominee registered to that account.

Hope the above information suffice your purpose.

Regards:

Punit

If your father is owner he can add anyone with him.YOu can not object.

The mandate of the a/c shall determine who will get the proceeds in what event, e.g. in case of joint/E&S/former or survivor a/c etc.

Visit bank and inquire........................or log onto website of the bank.
