In 2005 a person had made a notarised will.
The person died in 2014.
There were some bank accounts in which Mr. A MrB.And Mr.C were Nominees.
Mr C was entrusted to execute the will and distribute the property .
Later on in 2011, accounts in which A n C were Nominees were closed by the person making will.
Mr.B was made Joint account holder with either or survivor mode in addition to being Nominee.
Another account was opened with Mr.D as Joint Account holder either or survivor.
There is no mention of joint Account with D in the will as it was not existent .
Who is the legal owner of Joint Accounts ?
Is there any case law ?

D CANNOT GET ANYTHING . WHATEVER WRITTEN IN 2005 IS APPLICABLE.
