bank account of expat dying in Singapore
I need some assistance. I am an attorney in the United States who has a client who died in Singapore. He had an online bank account with DSB. I do not have his username or password to the account.
I am trying to get information about the account so I can transfer it back to his father in the states.
Will the bank provide me the information if I provide them with a death certificate and proof of probate in the United States? Any unusual laws that may get in the way?
I have not heard back from the bank after emailing them. Thank you for your assistance.

Yeah, I let it through because it was the first forum based one we've seen I think. Bit of a milestone.

Re: bank account of expat dying in Singapore
If it is a real question, then why not (a) contact the bank directly or (b) engage a local solicitor to sort it out?

Re: bank account of expat dying in Singapore
DSB is for Development Bank of Singapore. The account is with POSB which is part of DSB according to their website. I have tried their general email but have not received a response. Trying to get an actual person or the bank to repond.
I do not know how much is in the account. It could be $10 or $10,000. I am looking for a contact at the bank to assist me.
It was for an American citizen living in Singapore when he died.

Re: bank account of expat dying in Singapore
If you're genuine you might get a better response if you get their name right. DBS

Re: bank account of expat dying in Singapore
recommend you to consult a lawyer of Singapore about this or call up the bank's customer care to know more...
