If your husband had nominated you for his deposits, there is no need for consent from your daughters for claiming the deposit proceeds from the bank. Legal heirs certificate is not necessary. Please ascertain the factual position from the bank.

If you are a nominee, then there is no requirement for legal heirship certificate, just death certificate is sufficient to get the bank account balance transferred to your name. ||||||||||||||||||||||
