It is presumed that you have taken steps to notify the Court that the Plaintiff (Claimant) is dead and included the heirs of him as plaintiff.
On the basis of Legal heirship Certificate, the claim (by way of Execution Petition of the 'Decree awarded' by the court) can be done. The amount can be deposited in a Joint bank account. As you have revealed that some of the legal heirs are abroad, they can execute General Power of Attorney appointing a particular Plaintiff to act on their behalf and receive the claim amount. Further to this (GPA), the heirs residing abroad have to swear an affidavit (duly counter-signed by Embassy Officials) and such Affidavit is to be filed along the E.P.
