I have a bank account with my uncle, which I have not operated in the past ten years. Recently my uncle passed away. How can I restart operating this account?

Sorry to hear about your uncle. It is a good move to revive and consolidate bank accounts that are not being operated for long. First, you will need all the necessary documentation to get the KYC done in case of this account. You could also seek your existing bank’s assistance to certify your identity as additional verification if need be. Basically, all the bank needs is documentation that can confirm whether you are whom you state to be and you are a joint holder of the account.
