Which is correct nominee as per law and who is entitled to receive amount

Nominee is a Person Entitled with Responsibility to Release and Distribute the Deposits to all the Legal Heirs of the Deceased.As a Nominee it will not fetch any Right Over it.

Bank can discharge its responsibility by making the payment to nominee.
Nominee is not owner but just a trustee/hand to receive and pass on to legal heirs/successors.
So a legal heir/successor can claim share from nominee or submit objections to bank or bring court order to block payment to nominee.
The son can produce WILL for execution.
If the WILL is valid and executed the son can claim entire amount from nominee.
The WILL is to prevail upon nomination.

Agree with Deob and add that for the sake of convenience assign proceeds to nominee and also take Indemnity Bond. However nominee cannot deprive of other heirs right.
