My father collected the hard earned salaries of my mother and converted them to Fixed Deposits in his own name. He put his brother as nominee. How can I claim it from banks?

You need to apply for surviving members certificate and succession certificate from the court to get these Fixed Deposits. Nominee is just a custodian or a hand to collect the same. Though only legal hiers are entitled to get it. Seek a detailed legal consultation

Yes I can recover all the amounts, as you are the legal heir of the Account Holder,No rights and benefits are created and extended towards the nominee when the legal heirs are alive. Nominee is only a person with whom the society or a condominium can deal with pursuant to the death of the member,

You need to have succession certificate made from Registrar office , and should file an application to claim it if your father is dead, you fall in legal heir first category and you have got first right on whatever property your father leaves in intestate state.

It's important to note that you cannot make a claim on this asset as it is ultimately under your father's name. In the event of his passing, the nominee designated by him will be entitled to make the claim. Obtaining a succession certificate will not alter this situation.
