Sir,
My parents had one joint SB account E/S mode in Canara Bank branch. My father dies in 2013. My mother operated the account till her living. She issued me two cheques before the date of death in 2015 and I have deposited in my SB account those after her death (within one month). Therafter the Canara SB account was inoperative and presently dormant. The previous Canara Bank authority is very recently informed about their death. Whether I have any liability as legal heir. Plz help me.

You will have to seek succession, if the banker do not have any nomination registered, in your favour.
It would be better to consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/documents, analyse, guide and proceed.

Dear Sir,
Your liability depends upon various factors. Whether cheque was deposited to encash or towards repayment of any loan, to be clarified.
