        I m an NRI who invests through my mom’s mutual fund account.

        Planning to invest for long term ..

        I hope my mom lives for another 100 years but if she is not with us after x amount of time then what steps I have to take ?

        I use zerodha coin platform for mutual funds.

        What steps I can take now to transfer funds in my coin mutual funds account in future?

        Do I have to create will or legal heir certificate or succession certificate?

        I AM THE NOMINEE IN THE ACCOUNT (100% owner)

        Hoping to get good advises from anyone who knows something or who has gone through this process !

        Looking for steps that I can take now !

        Note : 1. I can not move funds or withdraw now as amount is big for me and is in loss as of now.
        2. I don’t have family disputes but want to be legally safe so I want to create documents nd not blindly have hopes that everything will be great

        Thank you!

          100 Nominee doesn’t mean you get to keep the money.

          Your siblings or other legal heirs can still claim it.

          Registered Will is safe.

          The safest option would be to transfer these units to your name while your mother is still around.

            Your mother needs to create a will and name you as the sole owner of the mutual fund units. Otherwise they will be divided equally amongst class 1 heirs. I am assuming your mother and you are Hindus.

                Thank you. I will create will.

                Are there any other documents I need to create ?
