nominee not mentioned in bank FD but in will

The Will should be enforced as per procedures of law if the Will has come into effect.

Deceased daughter has to inform to Bank that deceased account holder has executed a will in her favour so do not release funds of deceased  F.D to anyone till submission probate certificate of will.File petition before Court to grant probate on deceased will.

Generally, banks require a legal heir certificate or a succession certificate to release the funds to the legal heirs.

However, if the will is probated, the bank may consider it sufficient proof of the deceased person's intention to gift the FD to their daughter.

 In this case, since the mother has mentioned the FD in her notarized will, the bank may accept it as a valid document.

However, it's ultimately up to the bank's discretion and their internal policies. 

To be sure, the daughter may want to:

 1. Provide the bank with a copy of the notarized will.

 2. Request the bank to clarify their requirements.

3. If necessary, obtain a legal heir certificate or succession certificate from the appropriate court (SDM or civil court).
