Dear Sir / Madam,

You can obtain a certified copy of your mother's Death Certificate from the local Municipality Office by submitting an application quoting the date of your mother's demise to the Government authorities and obtain the Legal Heir Certificate. If your deceased father has left behind his Testament or Will stating therein that the jewels in his name vest in you , you can also submit a copy of that Will to the Bank for release of your jewels.

Regards,
