Your Next Of Kin Will Not Have Any Access To The Money In Your Account by crood: 9:08pm On Apr 26, 2023
IF YOU DIE TODAY, YOUR NEXT OF KIN WILL NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT!!!

So many Nigerians think that their next of kin is the automatic heir to their account. But the truth is that if your next of kin is not a signatory to your account, and you don’t have a written will to determine that person’s legitimacy, the person will not have access to that money at all. Your bank will have to go through a process called a LEGAL PROBATE. This probate period helps them determine who gets the money in your account. This is a very very lengthy and expensive process. Even after the whole process is done, your family will have to forfeit some very reasonable amount of the money for legal fees.

But if you want to avoid this , simply request for your bank to give you something called a POD form. POD stands for PAYABLE ON DEA*TH. The name of the person you fill in that POD form will determine who will get your money . All the person needs to bring is a de*ath certificate to get that money out.

With a POD form , you will save your family the stress of going through all that lengthy legal process and even loosing some money to the law.

What I know in this situation, if you approach the bank as next of kin with D-certificate, and you would be directed to the probate registry/court to get letter of administration which the court would ask you for letter of introduction from office of your relative, you pay to place advert and other normal court fee and after three months of the advert or less than, it would be issued, after submitting the letter of adninistration to the bank would go back and verify from the court before having access to the money

Though all the children, wife and witness needs to sign court document, also a file would be opened for the purpose.
