Hello nairalanders.
A friend needs information on steps and documents required for accessing the bank account (Nigerian bank account) of a dead relative (parents).
Any Idea how long the process takes ?
Just go to the probate court. The staff there will direct you. I just finished my late dad's own

If there is a will to the fact that you are next of kin go to Probate for copy and letter to bank for the money.If not you need a letter of Administration. Get a lawyer who will file necessary application for a letter of Admin. After the order is granted , the bank will be expected to report via a document sent to it as to the through statement of account. In most cases you pay 10 percent of what is outstanding in bank and then letter of Admin is issue which you take to the bank for the money.

Reference:


I am not too sure this will work these days. Banks are becoming wary of court cases coming from 'extended families' and are more inclined to accept only written wills.
many dont write will & if You are next of kin with letter of administration,no bank can derive you & you can even take they to court for frivolous damages. That is why a lawyer is needed for speedy result,though it takes time.

Re: How Can He Access The Bank Account Of Dead Parents by DEBJOCH1(m): 8:53pm On Apr 26, 2017
come with a Written Will from your late father as a beneficiary, if no Will, you go to the probate "High Court' Get a letter of Administration from a reputable court, a lawyer must be involved from the beginning to the end, in other for you to get access to your late dad estate account. You pay the lawyer a certain percentage of the total sum in your late Daddy estate account. Mind you, the process is not an Akamu and AKARA process, if care is not taken 7-9 months you are still running from Court to the bank, in order for you not to embark on a journey you will regreat at the end, try to work with an insider know how much your late man has, if it. something like N20-50k just forgo the money bc if you insist at the end, you may end up spending extra of that.

I can relate to this. I lost my belove mum in 2015. After the burial, I initiated a process to recover her depisite in UBA and succeeded.

Only @ the probate division of any state high court u can process this. They usually charge processing fee and other fees to this effect. They equally charge btw 15 percent and 20 percent of the bank deposite as part of their processing fees. The end product of the whole excercise is to obtain a letter of administration duly signed by the state chief judge

U may wish to pm me for more details

You don't need to be next of kin to get it. You need a letter of authority from your family. You can get this with the help of a lawyer. The death certificate. 5% of whatever is accrued would be collected by government or so.. And the money would be transferred into an account bearing the Estate of the dead person name. Then you can withdraw.
See an experienced lawyer.
Re: How Can He Access The Bank Account Of Dead Parents by Funkybabee(f): 9:11pm On Apr 26, 2017
I would have advice you to collect letter of administration, death certificate,and write letter but administration letter will cost you money,don't answer them that it's require six month. the true facts is the money but do u know how much is there maybe it's worth it and also contact the bank manager to know the appropriate steps maybe there is any help he can render

Go to the High Court and apply for LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.That empowers you and one of your siblings,if you have any,as administrators.You will be given a paper to the bank.At the bank your parents account detail will be spelt out.Then you will go back to the court and pay for it to be published in the dailies.In all,it may take six months to a year to get the money.

klifeomg:

I have a similar case, my dad worked in a federal establishment and they will keep on paying him for a few more months, so does that mean my Mom will have to forfeit all the subsequent money that will be paid? I want to process it for my Mom as she is still pained by my Dad's death and does not even want to bother herself with collecting the money and its huge.
Note: she is the next of kin
forward date the date certificate from national population commission to show that all the funds in your dads account was there b4 he passed away. Example say your dad died 1/1/2016 and he's office payed him for four months after he died, when you go to npc, tell them he died 1/5/2016. If you don't do it this way, u only get what was there b4 he passed away.

metrosexual:
First of all, the most important question is: Is he/she listed as a next of kin on any of his/her parents bank accounts?

If no, he/she should forget the money, if yes, proceed with these to the bank:

-Parents Death certificate
-Letter to the bank manager stating your order that his/her parents funds be transferred to him/her
-Valid identification of yourself
What kind of advice is this? Maybe you meant to say if there is some other next of kin? As long as there is no will, Whether he is next of kin or not as long as other siblings are in agreement, they can go ahead with the letters of admin.

The banks will not be happy if anyone shows up to claim an account that the owner has died. even when you get to the court, they will still probe you especially in monetary terms e.g if you want it processed btw a month- 50k.... 6 months -25k. They will frustrate your life in the bank also. you will walk and walk under the hot sun. they can even ask you to go and dig your dad's grave and bring his thumbprint..... at the end of the day, you would be persuaded to leave the money to GOD. No ordinary Citizen can withdraw from such account. you have got to have some connections BRO.!

People like to comment on what they obviously know NOTHING about. Connections? To close a deceased account? grin Do what you're asked to do, you won't, instead you'll be seeking the FASTEST way to claim money from bank.

Chukwumeremeze:

- He will need a letter of administration from the High court if His parents died without a will, and the process is quite lengthy and tough to conclude, and handled from the Probate Registry.

- He would also require the services of a Legal personnel who will assist in running the entire cycle which will include court fees, sureties etc.

I am currently running something related to that in The Probate Registry of Lagos High court, Igbosere road, and You may PM if you need further guidance on contact(s).

YOUNGKAHUNA:
getting a letter of administration from high court isn't a fewdays thing. It took me 3 months plus to get it. A letter of administration stands in place of a will. That is if the deceased doesn't have one. It contains the details of next of kin. There'll also be a public notice of the deceased in a national newspaper which you have to pay for.. No you don't need a lawyer cause I can't remember hiring one

Pls can u explain better d processes involved
