Surviving Member Certificate

The surviving member certificate serves as proof that the surviving member now owns the account or investment outright, and can manage it without interference from the deceased person’s estate or heirs. This can be important for accessing funds or assets held in the joint account, especially if the deceased person did not leave a will or estate plan.

To obtain a surviving member certificate, the surviving member will typically need to provide the financial institution with proof of the other account holder’s death, such as a death certificate. The exact requirements may vary depending on the institution and the type of account or investment involved.

In India, a surviving member certificate is issued by the revenue department of the state government to establish the legal heirship of a deceased person. The certificate is usually required to claim the assets or property left behind by the deceased person.
