dear client.....

Nominee is not the owner of the property ..... he /she can just use the loker and break the FD and bank get cash of the saving account but can not be the owner of it.... As you mention no WIll has been drafter then you all have equal share in all the property left by ur father ...

for any help you can mail me at [email protected]

Nominee does not become the owner of the moveable or immoveable property. You can file a suit for partition to get your share from the court.

Nominee is merely a trustee of legal heirs. All legal heirs have rights and such rights can be enforced through court.
