What documents are required from the heirs?

The inheritance file typically begins with a death certificate and a certificate of inheritance, which identifies the heirs and their shares, along with the identification documents of the heirs or their legal representatives.

Key points

• The bank may request additional documents depending on the account type, the presence of minors, powers of attorney, or any disputes.

• Request a written list from the bank before submitting the paperwork; do not rely on a generic list, as legal circumstances may add further requirements.
