Yes. A nominee is the custodian of the property (either movable or immovable) and he should hand over the same to the legal heirs of the owner/deceased person.

Family pension is as per Pension Order and normally to the wife and when not alive to the eligible family member as per order issued. Regarding other dues it is as per share indicated by the employee and no one can exercise more right. No bar to share among the legal heirs on cash benefits and not the family pension.
