So long, story, both my parents have passed away. My mom passed away first, but after my mom’s passing, my dad did not update his nominee details from his work and his bank. It’s been two years now. Since he passed away, I have to succession deed claiming that I am the only legal hair, but now when I went to submit to the bank, they are asking me to specifically at the FD numbers as well in the succession certificate as well as the locker number and the loan account number as well, I already carried out one enlargement for my succession certificate, and my current lawyer says that more enlargement might not be possible. For context, the judge had told me to add the main bank account number during the first and enlargement which we did add so the bank settle the savings account but now they mention they want to fixed deposit numbers as well on the succession certificate with respect to dads company. They mention the dues to the court after they were summoned after which we mentioned the amount which the company owe to my dad, but now they are saying it might not be processed. Since we have not specifically mention that company’s name on the certificate, and they mentioned that it should be present on the succession certificate.

My questions:

1. What shall be my next steps, considering we cannot do one more enlargement?
2. Can banks legally asked to mention the FD numbers, whereas on the succession certificate clearly claims that I am the only legal hair?
3. With respect to the dads company again, since I’m the only legal hair and the amounts that they have mentioned to the court have already been added there, will that be an issue considering its government company?
4. Such is the case, then what about if in future, I come to know about any more movable assets that did exist, and I did not know about it this stage.

I do understand. It might be little confusing, so please reach out in the comments if you need any more clarification or feel free to directly DM.
