Will surname of recipient mismatch issue

Ask the bank what are the documents they require to honour the will.The notarised affadvit is enough to the bank to consider and honour the will and release the saving amount.

I think it requires court permission.

The most essential thing is to get it correct the first time. If any of the information is inaccurate or incomplete, the will can be simply challenged in court.

Ensure you provide all of your personal information correctly, including your name, address, location, and date. Put in the entire name and relationship of beneficiaries, clearly state the assets, do it in front of two witnesses, and sign it along with the witnesses' names and contact information. The signature is the sole authentic component in a will.

A small error, including a misspelled word, usually does not nullify a will.

You can simply update the will and rectify the spelling error.

Contact the branch incharge a sworn affidavit should solve the issue otherwise you will have to file a declaratory suit through a local prudent lawyer. 

Generally, the bank accepts a sworn affidavit, and the other documents related to establishing that correct name and relationship is stated in that document. (qualification certificates, old ration card, legal heir certificate).  At the most, they may require indemnity bond execution but can not deny the claim settlement only for that reason alone.  The prescribed format of the claim forms also consists of a guarantee

Does the Will pertain to Bank accounts alone? Is the daughter the only legal heir?
