Which should be given importaance

Guest (Querist) 24 May 2009 This query is : Resolved
If a person has made nominee as his wife in bank Fd and if in his will he clearly states that his all Bank Fd should be transfered to his son.

Now who will apropriate toclaim for the Fd Amount?

(It is just illusionary question to clear my concept related to will and nomination)

Thanks in advance

its a good query otherwise.

recently SC has held that a nominee is merely entitled to recieve the money on behalf of other legal heirs...thus a nominee does not have any right over the money to be recieved from the bank.

in ur case the assets will be allocated as according to the will only not according to the nomination.

i ll find the judgment also.

I agree with kirankumar. Nominee is not entittled to the FD. Nominiee's duty is to only discharge the duties.
