Nominee is only the custodian to receive the money. when once the bank pays the money to the bank the liability of the bank gets discharged. The Nominee has to deliver the money to the legal heirs of the deceased.

It is necessary on the part of your friend to issue immediate notice to the Banker specifying that as one of the legal heirs of the deceased ,your friend is going to file succession case soon and therefore,the Banker is directed not to disburse any sum to the nominee till the disposal of that Succession case.Nominee is merely a custodian of that FD and that's why can't supersede the successors of the deceased.It is extremely necessary on the part of your friend to file a Succession matter before the Court of Law within whose jurisdiction the deceased last resides (at the time of his death)....Sinjari Banerjee,Advocate from Kolkata,9830019661,9830011829
