Sample letter to bank for Death of account holder

This is to notify the bank that my father, (name), had an account in your bank (account number). On (date), he passed away leaving behind me, his elder son, his wife and his daughter. I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother. I request the bank to transfer the amount in my father’s account to my mother’s account which is also in the same bank.

Mother’s name:

Account number:

My father had not mentioned any nominee of his account but since we are the only closest related people to him, I believe transferring the amount to my mother’s account should not be a problem. I have enclosed a copy of his prior to death medical conditions and death certificate.

Please let me know if any other formalities need to be completed for claiming the amount. If required, my mother can meet an officer from your bank in person to approve the same.

I shall be truly grateful to you if the procedure of amount transferring can be done at the earliest since our family is undergoing financial issues after the death of my father.
