Yes, a bank can provide account details of a deceased person to a legal heir, especially if they submit a succession certificate, legal heir certificate, or probate (if there’s a will). Consent of all heirs is not mandatory for information access, but it may be required for withdrawal or settlement of funds. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
