DY20: The money will belong to the bank BUT IF ANY OF THE STAFFS KNOWS YOU ARE DEAD, HE WILL TAKE THE MONEY. Bankers are the highest criminals on earth. Without the help of bank, there will be no corruption. BANKERS ARE VERY VIGILANT ON DEAD CUSTOMERS AND FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS TO SEIZE. 5 Likes |

kingsman66:My friend nobody pray to die but death is a reality, infact we were born to die. You can only leave a worth life that God can accept if you belief that death can come at any time. It is not devish for you to prepared for death at any time. You should get ready for death by living a life that will make you acceptable by God. I pray that we should not die but leave to declare the glory of God in the land of the living but if death should come now where do we spent eternity?. To answer that question we must start leaving a godly life from this second as death can come in the next minute. 1 Like 1 Share |

There are two things, I) did the customer put sometn down before his death(a will) II) did the customer die intestate? ( without leaving a will). If the customer died without leaving a will nd no one is aware of his account, then it will be difficult to trace the customer except someone get alert on his phone. Depending on the amount in the account, the customer described in no II will go to the probate dept in the court and get a letter of administration/attestation. ( letter of admin is given to those whose balance us higher dn 150k while any amt below this get letter of attestation. In some banks if the bal is 50k below, you just swear affidavit for the next of kin. But if the bal is higher, you will have to go through the process above. If the customer died leaving a will and chosed an executor, the executor will do the sharing......... Hope it helps. 2 Likes 1 Share |

kingsman66:The author didn't say he feel he will die. He said he's just being curious. For your information, it was people who thought this way (philosophers) like Aristotle, Plato, Humes, Pythagoras, e.t.c that birthed science to produce your mobile phone, airplane, ships, cars, TV, radio. Name them!. Without this type of thought humanity will still live in caves. You need to upgrade your thought process as a matter of urgency. 5 Likes |

Try and get some physical investment done with your money and also help the needy especially your family member, that's the only way your money will not die. Is only what we are eating or wearing now is our own... 4 Likes |

Am a retired banker so I know a lot of such cases, the truth is that there are billions of naira belonging to death customers, after six months the accounts stops accruing interest, when the monay fallows for let's say 20 years some bank so post it as profit, infact most banks do that, first bank is the number 1 culprit. My advice is keep document of the bank account safe even without anyone knowing after. Your death, your siblings or parent can take those document to court, the court will ask for death certificate, then the court will write to the bank for the balance of the account, then the court sent letter of administration to the bank where the a bank draft will be raised for balance in the courts name then the bank sent that draft to the court, the court will pay it into their account then after clearing they issue cheque rom their account in the name of each beneficiary, kindly note that the bank normally take certain administrative charges. Hope this helps 4 Likes 1 Share |

kingsman66: What a lame response. Typical black man. Is there anyone on the face of earth who will never experience death? This is a matter of facing reality and acting on it. He will probably get an actionable response he can act upon, something even you might learn from. As usual, everything is spiritual. So, he won't die if he stopped thinking about his eventual demise? 1 Like |

Johnrake69: He has said it all. The bank will not give your next of kin the fund but your administrators in case you do not have a will. Your administrators are those stated in a letter of administration issued by the probate. Please note that any two persons can become your administrators as long as they get hold of a copy of your cause of death/death certificate which is used to process a letter of administration. In processing this letter, all your properties to be administered including monies in your bank accounts will have to be stated. At average, it takes about 8 months to complete the process of this letter in Lagos state and differs in other states. Most important thing you would have to do is to let your closest family members know that you have an account with uba without any further detail, as i can assure you that no bank will contact your next of kin or family members if your account is dormant. It's free cash for them. Lets even say they try to contact your NOK, and d person also becomes incommunicado, what happens to your money? Itz gone forever. cheerz |

The major reason why your pin shouldn't be known only by you, you should have a confidant from your family who also knows your pin, he or she will simply withdraw the money or transfer it, in other words your next of kin should be your confidant, save them the bank wahala. |

[/quote]Who will write the letter of administration since the fund owner has gone. ? Will they just call a family meeting and draft it on behalf of the dead? Pls educate me cos some menbers might be greedy incase the letter spelt out how fund should be shared Family member(s) will apply to the Probate section to be named administrator(s). The application will be published for some time to see if there would be any objection from any body. If none, a Letter of Administration is given to the named administrator(s). This qualifies the administrators to access the funds by transferring it to an account named Estate of ...., and to run the account and even receive any other monies through the account for the deceased. Usually it is the deceased spouse or adult children that are expected to apply for the Letter of Administration, but definitely not limited to them. |

I wonder why people are worried about life hereafter? Why die before the lovely moment comes? Millions of account-holders have died. Millions more will. Why bother? Don't be mean- leave something tangible behind. Vanity upon vanity. |
