Yudhish Padman S (Advocate (Madras High Court) 9566217446) 30 August 2017
Dear SK,
At the inception, allow me to express my condolences on the unfortunate demise of your sister's husband. I presume that he has not executed any "Will" and thus, I understand that he died intestate. Naturally, your sister and her baby, being Class I heirs, alone are jointly entitled to the husband's entire estate.
By appointing someone as nominee, it does not mean that the money entirely belongs to that someone. The nominee is required to receive the money and distribute it to the dead person's legal heirs, in accordance to law. If he is refusing, then you'll be required to approach the Court.
