The problem that most bank do face in most cases on deceased customer account is to discover that, it's polygamous family where other children brought letter from lawyer indicating he has other children. The bank will be reluctant to release such money because in most cases, the way letter of administration is done in Nigeria might not notify the family involved before such letter is issued.Kindly approach the bank operation manager and discuss with him to know the delay. I think is a small matter only the bank want to be careful in releasing such money if the deceased die intestate.

Good morning Nairalanders.

Few months ago I sought for help from this forum in my post titled "I'm About To Lose My Dad's Contributory Pension Bankers/Lawers Help", of which I received good comments.

One of those comments was for me to approach the court for a "Letter Of Administration" if I'm the next of kin or the beneficiary to my dad's properties.

Hello, I've responded to your question if you check my previous post. I just want to ask:

Please, how much time did it take and cost to get your Letter Of Administration issued?

After a long process at the court, I was finally issued with the said letter. I then took the letter to the bank where my dad was operating after being advised to open an Estate Account.

I then applied for Estate Account, but up till today they (bank) have refused to open that account giving flimsy excuse always. I'm beginning to suspect foul play from the bank.

Can I open such account in another bank while presenting the bank my dad was operating with account number for the money to be transfered in or sue the bank while they pay for damages?

HELP!!!

Pinkybush:
The bank I'm talking about is UNION BANK, EKET, AKWA IBOM STATE.

Please what do you mean by PFA?

Pinkybush:
It took me almost 5 months. Partly because of how to raise funds to pay for some charges

pacespot:


Thank you for your prompt reply.

Like how much are we talking about to collect the Letter Of Administration: what is the total cost?

I just need the estimate, thanks for your reply!

1johnjohn:





Depends on your fathers property and also the lawyer.
First you need to justice department to get a form which all your fathers properties would be listed.

galantjoe:


The poster did not specify whether his later father pension RSA or his bank account balances that they refuse him up access.

If iT is pension RSA then he needs not to open any estate account

The post is vague with limited details

wabbyland:


I'm not ashamed of asking. kindly educate me on the differences between the two. I'm have the same problem with my late dad's pension as I've not even gone close to it for like 4-5 years after his death.

pacespot:


OK, I heard they charge a percentage (12% or so), not a fixed amount.

Do you need other siblings of your father to accent to the Letter of Administration or just the next-of-kin (which I'm)?

quentin06:

no need , it is forfeit.

Take this to twitter, tag the bank, CBN and if you don't have plenty followers, you can tag popular twitter figures.

Pinkybush:
Please for the sensitivity of the issue I won't mention the bank's name. The only thing left is for that bank to open an estate account and transfer in the money, which they are frustrating

wabbyland:


I don't get you. why is a forfeit? is there no other way to get it again?

stnkembu:
When did u submit the LOA to the bank?
What is the exact excuse your bankers are giving you?
Usually, your bank will send the LOA to their legal department to confirm its authenticity.
The time frame for such verification varies and may run into weeks, depending on how fast/slow the lawyer handling is.

CeterisXVII:

Do you know anything about the way banks operate? If the man is polygamous, it is NOT the bank's business.

All they need is the letter of administration issued by the probate registry. All the names of the administrators are listed there.

Any name that is not included, does not concern the bank. If the family likes, let them have 100 other children that were borne by the deceased.

E no concern di bank, o! They will only deal with those whose names are listed in the letter of administration. End of story.....
