NEXT-OF-KIN in Banking Sector
When death occurs, the NEXT - OF - KIN WILL NOT HAVE ANY ACCESS TO THE MONEY IN DECEASED ACCOUNT so many people think that their next of KIN is the automatic heir to their account . But the truth is that if your next of KIN is not a signatory to your account, and you don't have a written will to determine that person's legitimacy, the person will not have access to that money at all.
Your bank will have to go through a process called a LEGAL PROBATE. This probate period helps them determine who gets the money in your account.
This is a very lengthy and expensive process . Even after the whole process is done, your family will have to forfeit some reasonable amount of the money for legal fees . But if you want to avoid this, simply request for your bank to give you something called a POD form , POD stands for PAYABLE ON DEATH. The name of the person you fill in that POD form will determine who will get your money. All the person needs to bring is a death certificate to get that money out.
With a POD form, you will save your family the stress of going through all the lengthy legal process and even loosing some money to the law .

@UgEquityBank I am very disappointed in your services at head office. I have waited for now 3hours to make a transaction just because a staff has gone for lunch. Tried consulting, all I was told was"you just wait". As am tweeting this, am still seated here waiting to be served
This traffic man is called Tusiime. I don't know the full name. He is mostly stationed at Kisaasi in the evenings. Yesterday he pushed a lady's car which had failed. It had created a terrible jam. I always love his energy, passion and enthusiasm for the job. Hope he is promoted.
