When you are dead, your family are needed to submit back your IC to JPN in order to issue Death Certificate.

Once your IC is submitted, JPN will issue notification to Bank Negara to freeze your accounts in their database, and Bank Negara in turn will issue orders to respective banks to freeze all your accounts.
Same goes to your assets. Jabatan Tanah will be notified and your assets will be frozen.

Nope the bank wouldnt know
My father passed away and i can still withdraw money using ATM (i know the PIN)

It is next of kin responsibility to close the account. Some banks do not require Surat Perintah just go and bring Death Cert
But most banks will require Surat Perintah to close account, even the balance is so small.

Already went to Bank Negara and they said they can't check any saving/current account the deceased have with banks, you need to check manually with each bank (im currently doing this, took a lot of time because need to go to the bank counter)

If relative claims but 10 years later i survived and suddenly appears back but my money is gone, then can claim back from the bank? Example MH370 case. Suddenly 10 years later they appear but money all missing and got claimed. How if such thing happens?

They are presumed and declared death in absentia . Dead cert issued and all , the bank has to follow

you're considered as dead with death certificate.
in this case i guess you need to appeal in court since this is special case.

banks and authorities will just follow the normal procedure:
got death certificate = next of kin can claim the money,
after 7years still nobody claims = put into "unclaimed money" under bank negara.

Unker... only after you get the perintah from the official, next to kin can transfer the money of deceased.

Bank officer refused to print the bank book statement for us even when we have death certificate.
We can't even check the bank balance in normal situation. Why do you think you can transfer the money in the account?

Thats strange. I followed my friend do it. For rhb bank. The bank just need his ic, his birth cert n the deceased death cert. He fill up a form n a week after settle.

The only problem was need to do it at the branch the acc was opened. It was in kuantan. So we went for a little road trip.

Yup, my MIL passed away and the next week we went to the bank to consolidate her savings and loans. Then BNM for all her insurance details etc.

Did they go through the legal process of marriage ? If yes just get a replacement cert
If they weren't legally married , they have only conducted a wedding, then their marriage is not recognised

Did TVB also educate you that HK law is not the same as Msia law ? Have we ever had such a situation before ?

Deducted from your estate
For example if you have a house (fully paid) worth 600k but you also have other debts of 300k , and no cash remaining.
The bank will auction the house , the money raised will be used to offset the debt before being divided according to will

If the net value is negative, next of kin no need to pay, bank will write off

Read more on this link: https://www.malaysianbar.org.my/marriage.html (Non Muslim only)

Can claim based on the explanation below:-
1. MARRIAGES PRIOR TO 1ST MARCH 1982 and MARRIAGES AFTER 1ST MARCH 1982

All customary or cultural marriages and other marriages conducted according to Chinese or Hindu rites before 1st March 21982 are legal marriages and are valid. {Section 4 of LRA} ..

After 1st March 1982 customary or cultural marriages and other marriages by Chinese or Hindu rites are only valid if REGISTERED

[Eg if A and B had a temple wedding in 1981, the marriage even if not registered is valid. If they had the temple wedding after 1.3.1982 and did not register the marriage, then the marriage is not valid].
