Don't involve any lawyer. You will pay lawyer and still get the letter of administration later. Go and get the letter of administration. Get an insider in the registry to help you bring down the cost or you pay what is legally required. 1 Like |

Psalter: U are right, Unless if it is stated that both must sign to operate the a/c. But if the mandate stipulates that, both must sign, she must provide further legal documents, like death certificate and letter of admnistration if either party dies. |

zuma4k: I am not a banker or a lawyer but I'm not sure if any bank will honor what you described as the express mandate. What would have helped is a co-signatory status with the mandate that "either may sign". This would have helped the wife. The other thing that could have helped is a will. I guess, the wife will wait till the will is executed before having access to such money though. My mandate to my wife is that if anything happens to me, she should move any and every money in the accounts to which I have made her co-signatory. Then she can relax and cry for as long as she wants. I trust my family but I just have to avoid stories or at least let her be in a comfortable position while the story is going on. |

zuma4k: A fixed deposit is not a bank account. A bank account must have signatures, valid ID cards and passport photographs of the signatory or signatories. And for your mother to be able to withdraw in your father's absence, the account mandate must be stated, EITHER SIGNATORY TO WITHDRAW. In which case you don't even need to tell the bank that your father is late. Many bankers don't have conscience. Your daddy's account officer must have understood his request to make your mother a Co and Independent signatory in his absence but many bankers are not committed to their jobs. A fixed deposit will always originate and terminate into a savings or current account which must have the full qualities of what I described above. Perhaps your mother was never made an independent signatory in the originating account. 1 Like |

Psalter: OP don't waste time and money...go to the High Court and get the LOA. No lawyer can help you bypass the LOA. A lawyer is suppose to know that the moment a bank request for a LOA, it means the mandate is both to sign, if it's for either to sign, they won't ask for LOA except if the staff that attend to you didn't check well. All you need to do is go to another branch of the bank, if you are told the same thing. Jejely go and get the LOA...only the probate Court will get you the money. Good luck |

[quote author=zuma4k post=93429908]Please fellow nairalanders, I need your opinions on this and if possible front page. It's quite personal and goes like this. 1. Mr Adam (my father) opens a fixed deposit account with X Bank. He subsequently submits his wife's details and makes her a co-signatory to the account with the *express mandate* that upon his demise, his wife exercises automatic access to the account and it's proceeds. Does this amount to a valid contract between him and the bank?. 2. Note that after his death the bank reneged on the primary provision of his directive, stating that a letter of administration must be procured (at an exorbitant cost). Stated Reasons bothers on the fact that under banking laws and the principles of a valid contract, a contract between a depositor and the bank terminates upon the demise of the individual thus rendering the *mandate* unenforceable and invalid. Please mods I need this on front page. Thanks. [/quote It's simple. Just get a letter of administration from a court and tender it to the bank alongside the death certificate. You can get a lawyer to help you on this as the lawyer together with the court rep are the ones to tender the documents on your behalf to the bank. That was the case with me though. Wish you the best. |

zuma4k:Nigerian law stipulates that once a person dies, his or her assets can only be accessed through his assets administrators which can only happen through a letter of administration processed through the court. You the son, your mother, any of his brothers or parents must be included as the administrators. And government will collect a percentage to issue the letter. The bank is only obeying the law |

homesteady: Letter of administration is usually granted by the probate registry in a situation where a man or woman dies intestate I.e without a will. The letter of Administration grants the beneficiary the access to the deceased estate. In law estate could be both movable and immovable asset. And also liquid asset. |

I feel your pain,Young man but you see there is something called procedure unfortunately at this time which you must follow.There must be a letter from goverment to prove that you father is dead and that truly the will and not Bank agreement gives you permission to stand up on his behalf,more importantly that goverments share of your fathers estate is not cornered by your family alone. what i am saying is that you must pay your tithe to govermnet by the way of Letter of Adminisrator. Oya quickly go and meet your lawyer they will educate you more and leave childish exuberance alone. zuma4k: |

cnandy:last last he will still get the LOA if not he has enriched the bank by whatever amount his late father had with the bank lol. If his father had a will, then there may not be need for LOA. Only a will can override LOA, though I am not too sure a will override a LOA, but it should. So op go and process a letter of administration to have access to all your late father's estate. |
