However if someone needs to withdraw the money from that account of the deceased person they must:provide proof that the person is actually deceased (A death certificate)provide proof that he/she is the legal heir of the deceased (A will or a relationship proof that they are the son/husband/wife/daughter of the deceased)Once the bank verifies these documents, they will release the funds from the deceased persons accounts to you.
