Only nominee person can get the F.D.

1. Friend would need to serve a Legal Notice or Caveat to the Bank, restraining Bank, not to pay anything to the Nominee and stating that succession matter is being filed in Civil Court, against Brother and Bank.

Nominee is only the custodian to receive the money. when once the bank pays the money to the bank the liability of the bank gets discharged. The Nominee has to deliver the money to the legal heirs of the deceased.

Issue legal notice to brother of your father if he fails to retun the FD money received from Bank to legal heirs as nominee is not owner of the said money

It is necessary on the part of your friend to issue immediate notice to the Banker specifying that as one of the legal heirs of the deceased ,your friend is going to file succession case soon and therefore,the Banker is directed not to disburse any sum to the nominee till the disposal of that Succession case.Nominee is merely a custodian of that FD and that's why can't supersede the successors of the deceased.It is extremely necessary on the part of your friend to file a Succession matter before the Court of Law within whose jurisdiction the deceased last resides (at the time of his death)....Sinjari Banerjee,Advocate from Kolkata,9830019661,9830011829
