How to fill application for deceased claim?

If a person dies all of a sudden but has a property to be looked at, then the legal heirs come up to take it, or the nominee comes. In such a case they need to present an application for deceased claim or else the bank will freeze the account (usually deceased claim is done mostly in banks to claim the money left by the dead person) and will take time to pass it to the legal heirs.

The process of claiming money from a deceased person is not going to be an easy one. You need to visit the bank several times before you can get the money and it may take several weeks as well. Different banks have different forms that needs to be filled up accordingly but there are some documents that all banks will need to see which are:

• The Death Certificate

• Claim Application Form

• Probate of WILL

• Succession Certificate 

You need to write an application first and attach the above mentioned documents or

more as the respective bank says. The application you need to write should be like:

I, the undersigned ________ of Shri/Smt. __________________________________ hereby inform you about the death of my_______________. I request you to settle the death claim under his policy no. _________________________________ at the earliest in my favour being the nominee of the above no.

This is in case that you are the nominee. If you are not the nominee, it is better to ask the bank and fill up the required form.

I hope you now know how to fill an application for deceased claim.
