Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of obtaining a legal heir or succession certificate for a deceased individual who was both unmarried and an orphan. Banks are refusing to allow the nominee access to a locker without this certificate. One suggestion is to approach the High Court for a Letter of Administration (LOA), which may be quicker than other routes. The nominee also has questions about claiming and selling property found among the deceased's documents, which is noted as a separate issue.

This is entrirely a different issue unrelated to the opening of the locker. All the more, facts posted are inchoate that any menaingful suggestion is impossible.
