My stepfather who has been ill finally died. He has banking with one of the Nigeria Bank, we don't know how to withdraw his money for the burial. He was a civil servant and the secretive type. He started working when he was not married and we don't know he used as the next of kin. We have his phone and the Bank alerts. Bankers and anybody help pls

He probably use either his first son name.Let the first son/wife contact his bank for verification.Shey the deceased left a WiLL?Then leave it for d executor to do the needful

U go 2 d bank 1st,then u will b asked 2 go 2 court to bring proof or something. D process is a bit long tho. My brother in law is almost in d final stage.

Just follow wat ever d court ask u 2 do

Go and get a letter of probate or administration from the court and present it to the bank and they'll process it.

If the man left a will, then the person whom he gave the money in the account to will be the one to claim it. If he died intestate (without a will), like pascal said you need to get a letter of administration from the court to present to the bank.

Go through his documents, find out accounts he had, could be bank account, shares, bonds, etc.. Then go the bank or brokerage house as the case may be... They'll tell you what to do and what documents to bring. .......

Thank you for your contributions.
