Hi, A nominee is just a caretaker of the bank balance or Fixed deposits. If there is no will it will be distributed among the legal heirs , you need to get the succession certificate, then only you can get that amount. Thanks and Regards Ramit Sehrawat Advocate

No, that can not be challenged. If there is a nominee to the bank account. It is considered that the account holder wants to transfer all the funds in the name of the nominee after his/her death. Only thing that can be challenged is that the nominee has been made by fraud.
