Get a letter of Administration |

You will fisrt write to inform the bank that the guy is dead. You will submit death certificate both original and photocopy original for sighting. Then you will get letter of administrator from notary public. The bank will have to work on these by doing their own investigation. After they are satisfied you can now be called either to open an account with the bank and the balance on the deseased account will be credited to you. All these can only be possible if the dead person chose you as next of kin when opening the account initially |

When my elder brother died, we couldn't get the atm pin after serious search. I have to come up with the idea of downloading the bank mobile on his phone, I logged into the app and registered with the atm card. I clicked for transfer and an one time password (otp) was sent to his mobile number. I continously used the otp as they were been sent to transfer 680k out of the account. The remaining 200 naira I used it to recharge my line. I was lucky the app registration didn't require physical visit to the bank. I purposely didn't want to mention the bank involved 2 Likes |

You'll first of all get a death certificate from any recognized hospital & proceed to any media house to publish it in a local tabloid for 21days. Thereafter you'll proceed to the probate registry to get an LOA. Take the LOA to the bank where the account is domiciled to give you statement of account. Take the statement of account back to the probate registry. They'll deduct about 10 percent of the money after which the bank can open an estate account for you. Note that you mustn't be the next of kin to do this. |

Every body just dey talk e own Truth is, it's not a one size fits all. Some bank have stricter policies than others. Getting the letter of admin is the first step and may take a while to get, depending on the assests My personal experience My dad had accounts act 6 banks. Diamond, access (b4 the merger) union, UBA, First bank, unity With the LOA, Some were relatively straightfoward eg diamond, access, It was the first generation banks that gave the most stress, esp union bank and first bank. It was only UBA that went smoothly. |

Re: How Do You Recover Money From A Dead Relative Bank Account? by alezzy13: 7:13pm On Jul 03, 2019 |
Oyerinde16: Well his actually right. It's the probate court that would decide who will execute the estate and as such grant the LOA to, who may, in some instances, not be the NOK. If indeed the bank assess the LOA to be genuine but the executors are not explicitly stated as the NOK to the deceased, then it may take time and involve back and forth, but they will pay.

There is no need for a lawyer if the following conditions are met. 1. Get the death certificate 2. The next of kin to the account or first child of the decease. The next of kin or first child of the decease will now take the death certificate to the court, in other to apply for Letter of Administration. It will cost about 50k plus. Having secured the Letter of Administration, you will now take it the bank involved. From that point on ,you will have unhindered access to the account. |
