Nomination joint accounts

How to bequeath wealth to our legal heirs using nomination, joint accounts and will?

by Holistic 1 Comment | Filed Under: Investments

Writing and Registering a Will is the best Option

The best way to pass on one’s wealth after death is to write and register a will in favour of those persons whom one would like to get the estate.

Also Have Joint Accounts

[the_ad id=’14106′]
However, other than writing and registering a Will, there are other ways to pass on the wealth without any hassles is by having joint accounts with the person whom you want to pass on the wealth (namely, one’s spouse). Joint accounts are more hassle free even compared to a Will.

On the death of the person, the estate automatically passes on to the surviving account holder with minimum of paper work.The operation instructions in the joint account has to be

mentioned as ‘Either or Survivor’. By producing a copy of the death certificate the remaining account holder will become the sole account holder.

If a person is unwilling to allow the joint account to operate the account along with him during his life time, s/he may simply change the operation instructions to ‘Former or Survivor’ and s/he will operate the account as long one is alive and only after the death the other account holder will be able to access the account.

Nominations Helps Further

The nomination facility in banks and elsewhere helps further in passing on one’s wealth to the desired person. In such case, the person may not open a joint account, but appoint the person as nominee in the account. In case of his/her death, the nominee has to provide identity and address proof along with death certificate of the deceased account holder to get the account transferred in his/her name.

Nominations also helps when one has a joint account with one’s spouse, and s/he feels that it may happen that of they may die at the same time (accident or sickness), in that case having a nominee to whom they would desire to pass on the wealth, s/he can be nominated and when the death happens the person becomes the owner of the wealth.

However, one has to be careful to see that the person’s name as beneficiary in the will should be the same as nominee. If the persons are different in the will and in the nomination, then the beneficiary in the Will, will not receive the wealth in the account, it will go to the nominee, though the beneficiary is entitled to receive it.

Then beneficiary needs to legally claim it and get it from the nominee. To avoid this make the beneficiary in the will as the nominee. Then it becomes easy for the beneficiary to transmit the asset in his/her name.

Please Review Your past Wills/ Joint Accounts/ Nominations

People when they are young and are not married and do not have children, they often have joint accounts with father/ mother/ brother/ sister and also may nominate them in the accounts with banks and other investments like LIC policies/ provident fund/ shares/ mutual fundsetc. Sometime they also make a will in which some or of them are the beneficiaries. Once a person gets married and have children, they should review the names in the joint accounts/ nominations and their will from time to time and make suitable changes as and when required.

This will prevent the following situation from happening…

“I am Sapna and I am having a big problem. My husband before our marriage had written a WILL stating that all the wealth will go to his elder sister after his death. After marriage he was thinking to change the will, but by the time he could do it he died of an accident. His sister has claimed all our property and bank balance because of that WILL. What can I do?”

Truly speaking, the lady can’t do anything … her husband was lazy and ignorant about these things and now she will pay for his mistakes!

To summarize

One should have a joint account, as the first account holder, with the person to whom s/he desires to pass on the wealth after his/her death…

Wherever, possible nominate a person, to whom you want your money should go after your death…

Review past Wills, names of persons in investment and nominations to make it up to date with changing times and your preferences to pass on your wealth after your death.

    Is Nominee of a Bank Deposit a/c bound to act as a trustee and handover the
    proceeds of the Deposit to the Legal Heirs upon their request/demand to do
    so or he has got absolute ownership on the a/c and the money involved–in the
    absence of a Will by the deceased a/c holder.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
