This query is : Resolved
A mohammedan expired died intestate leaving behind his wife,3 minor childeren,one major daughter and mother.He was waving a gold loan account with a bank.The legal heirs above mentioned moved a application to redeem the gold ornaments in the name of the deceased mohammedan.
The problem is there are no apparent "Natural Guardian" to act on behalf of minor childeren in this case and hence bank find it difficult to release the gold ornaments to legal heirs.The father of the deceased died intestate without appointing a gurardian for the minors.
Apart from going to court to appoint natural guardian for minors,is there any way to solve this as to release the gold to mother of minor childeren.
what adequate proctection the bank has to take to release gold to mother ie:wife of the mohammedan

I advise bank authorities to obtain Guardianship certificate duly issued by competent court permitting him to receive such ornaments from bank without having any registered document qua appointment of of the guardian of he minor sons of deceased.
