Legal fees vary depending upon lawyer engaged by you
court fees would be around 8.75 per cent in UP
bank may insist on succession certificate
Obtain a legal heirship certificate from the office of the Tehsildar. For this, the bank should give you a requisition/covering letter, they they want legal hearship certificate for disbursal of payment to the legal heirs.
A local Advocate will help you with this. This should do away with the requirement of obtaining a succession certificate.
A succession certificate must be obtained from the district court by filing the details of the bank and the account no. And amount along with the shareholders.
Engage a lawyer for this purpose.

Dear Sir/Madam,
A Succession Certificate is required when someone inherits any immovable property or movable property under the various Property Laws in the country. Most of these issues come under the Hindu Succession Act.
Court fees to obtain a succession certificate is 3% on such amount or value, provided the certificate is granted under Succession Certificate Act,1889. So for 30 lakhs, the court fee would be around ₹30,000/-
Lawyer fee for obtaining succession certificate maybe range anywhere between ₹50,000-₹70,000/-
All the children of your parents become beneficiaries in obtaining the succeession certificate and thus the amount shall be divided between you three siblings.
TO CLAIM MONEY:
IN THOSE BANK ACCOUNTS WHERE YOU ARE NOT A NOMINEE:
1. You need to obtain a succession certificate and provide it to the SBI branch
2. Provide the death certificate of your parents to the SBI branch

How can you calim money in easy way.
1. If you have death certificate of your father as well as mother you can directly visit the banks where nominees name are mentioned and present the Death Certificate, then the money will be transferred to your account.
2. Where the nominee is not mentioned there you need to produce a succession certificate, and lawyer charges 20,000/- plus expenses for any amount, where court fees maximum ceiling is 8.25% upto 5 lakhs and then remaining @ 8.75%, that will be borne by you.
Yes RBI says that where there is no legal dispute, there the banks should not force for Succession Certificate, but banks don't have team to get it checked whether there are any legal dispute within the party. Thus they demand Succession Certificate on which they rely and take decision to transfer the amount and account.
- As per rule, if there is nominee in the account, then the bank is bond to pay the amount to the nominee, just after submitting certain proofs of his identity.
- A nominee is not essentially the legal heir of the deceased . A nominee and legal heir can be different individuals.
- Since, 3 siblings are nominee in the FD , then they can claim FD amount from the bank after submitting their identity and address proof .
- Further, as mother already died , the after the death of parents , all the legal heirs can claim the amount legally.
- However for claiming this amount , bank can ask Succession certificate from the court.
- For getting succession certificate , after getting the direction of the court , you will have to pay 2% of the claim amount , and further lawyers fees is not fixed.
- Where you are nominee then no issues, its quite easy. No succession certificate is required.
- Where you are not nominee then succession certificate is required and must.
- The Fees depends on lawyer and city.
- Along with lawyer fees, there will be court fees as well.
1. If there is no unanimity among the legal heirs how to claim the assets then it is advisable for apply for Succession Certificate.
2. While applying such succession certificate all the legal hers must join together so the amount is divided among them equally by the order of the court.
If the bank is insisting on the succession certificate then you may have to obtain the same through a court of law.
However in general banks do not insist the succession certificate and they would ask you to furnish an indemnity bond indemnifying the bank against the losses or a litigation in this regard in future.
You may talk to the bank manager and convince him by producing the legal heirship certificate obtained from the revenue department to prove the actual legal heirs and request him to disburse the claim amount on the basis of the indemnity bond or any other legal requirement to be complied by you people in this regard other than succession certificate.
It will take years to obtain succession certificate through court of law.
The court fee for succession certificate would be 3% for the amount and you may have to pay an additional 3% towards the stamp duty besides the lawyer' fee which would depend on the lawyer you may engage.
You may enquire the proper details from a local lawyer.
The maximum court fee will be approx 75000 and lawyer fees will be additional
1. You can realise the FD where he has nominated you, but where you have not been nominated you will require Succession Certificate from the court to realise all the liquid assets.
2. Only the lawyer can whom you propose to engage can tell you what his fee would be, whereas court fee varies from one state to another. Engage a local lawyer.
