for transfer of property you the legal heirs need legal heir certificate.
but for claiming the deceased's money from bank the legal heirs need to file succession original petition before the concern court.

Just to add a line, pl. ind out from the bank whether the deceased has availed nomination facility for his bank deposit,and if yes, the nominee can operate the account without any hassle.
