Go to the bank with signed proof of the parent's death, and proof that you are the executor of the will, or that you are a trustee if the account/box is in the name of a trust. You should have your parent's safe deposit box key.

∙ 15y agoYou can carry with you the death certificate of your parent and visit the bank in which you feel they had an account (Probably) You can provide their full name, Date of birth, address etc and also provide proof of relationship as father and son or mother and son etc and request the bank manager to search. The manager would have options to search for bank customers by their name, DOB etc. If they find out that your parent had an account, you can show proof that your parent has expired and as legal heir you can ask them to hand over the account proceeds to you. They may take a few days to process but if you have sufficient proof that you are their son/daughter you can claim the money in that account.
