BPI Requirements for Claim to Account of Deceased Depositor

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) branch at the Philippine Stock Exchange in Ortigas, Pasig City kindly provided me with the list of requirements on how to claim the funds of a depositor who has passed away. Please note that copies of all the listed documents must be submitted to BPI, so, make sure you have xeroxed copies of the originals when you visit the bank.





I. If the BPI depositor (whether Filipino or foreigner) died WITHOUT A WILL (intestate) AND has NO debts:

  1. Certified true copy of the death certificate
  2. Affidavit of Sole Adjudication (if only one heir) OR Extrajudicial Settlement (if more than one heir)
  3. Affidavit of Publication proving the Sole Adjudication or Extrajudicial Settlement has been published in a newspaper of general publication once a week for three consecutive weeks
  4. BIR Tax Clearance OR Certificate of Payment of Estate Taxes OR Certificate of Exemption to Pay Estate Taxes
  5. Certified Marriage Contract OR Birth Certificate to prove heir's relationship with the deceased
  6. Special Power of Attorney in case the heirs are being represented by a third party
  7. Government issued IDs to prove identification
  8. Indemnity Agreement


  • Option 1 Indemnity Agreement with Assignment of Deposits in favor of BPI for a period of two (2) years, the condition of which is the funds cannot be released until AFTER the lapse of the period of the assignment.
  • Option 2 Indemnity Agreement with the BOND equivalent to the value of the deposit account. The bond should be valid for two (2) years from the date of last publication of the Sole Adjudication or Extrajudicial Settlement, in which case, the funds can be IMMEDIATELY RELEASED.



II. If the BPI depositor (whether Filipino or foreigner) died without a will (intestate) AND has debts,
OR the BPI depositor (whether Filipino or foreigner) died WITH A WILL:

  1. Court Order (Original copy with seal of the probate or settlement court; OR, if the will was probated abroad, an order from a competent Philippine court allowing such will.)
  2. BIR Tax Clearance OR Certificate of Payment of Estate Taxes OR Certificate of Exemption to Pay Estate Taxes
  3. Special Power of Attorney in case the heirs are being represented by a third party
  4. Government issued IDs to prove identification
  5. Indemnity Agreement


    • Option 1 Indemnity Agreement with Assignment of Deposits in favor of BPI for a period of two (2) years, the condition of which is the funds cannot be released until AFTER the lapse of the period of the assignment.
    • Option 2 Indemnity Agreement with the BOND equivalent to the value of the deposit account. The bond should be valid for two (2) years from the date of last publication of the Sole Adjudication or Extrajudicial Settlement, in which case, the funds can be IMMEDIATELY RELEASED.

    1. Dami mga requirements kawawa naman yung nanay ko senior na dami pa pinapaasikaso. Yun naman pala may bagong batas diyan. Yung train law. Ang kailangan lang yung 1904 nung deceased sa bir tsaka death cert tsaka yung affidavit na inaauthorize yung bank na magprocess para sa estate tax na 6%. Pinahirapan pa kami na kailangan ng surety bond ekek ang mahal ng babayaran. Parusa ginagawa nila nagpublish pa sa diyaryo 3 beses tapos kailangan pa daw iparegister sa registry of deeds yung extra judicial ekek ulit na yung dalawang kapatid ko nagpadala ng spa nila pareho na nasa abroad pinadala laki din gastos. E hello, konti lang naman laman ng account sa bank pinahirapan pa nila nanay ko para makuha. Pandemya nga bawal sila lumabas. Kaya nakakawalang gana tuloy magdeposit pagkatapos kapag nakuha na namin yung laman ng bank account ng tatay kong namayapa. Icocolose na din ng mama ko yung account niya sa banko. Pakiramdam ko pinapahirapan nila mga tao para wag na asikasuhin yang sandamakmak na requirements para kanila na lang yung pondo. Nakakahigh blood. Mama ko nga nahigh blood na sa mga banko na yan. Sa bpi 38k at sa metrobank 75k. Papahirapan pa nila ng ganyan dami pa gastos sa abogado at sa paglalakad ng mga yan. Di na lang nila sabihin ganito yan maam ito laman ng account ninyo at ito ang proseso para makuha ang laman. Kung gusto ninyo makuha ang laman ng account dadaan muna kayo sa maraming sakit ng ulo, maiistress kayo at kapag nastress kayo maoospital kayo tapos kapag naospital kayo ito ang magagastos ninyo mas malaki pa sa laman ng bank account. Ngayon mamili kayo kukunin nyo pa ba o idonate nyo na lang sa amin

  3. Kaya nga.. Nakakahigh blood tlga. Dami requirements ng bangko.. Hindi pa makuntento sa Gov. ID, Birth Certificate, Death Certificate..picturan lng nila yung nag claimant.. Kesa kuha pa ng affidavit of publication, Surety Bond etc... Tpos ang laman lng ng bank account nsa 10k.. Tpos ang tgal mo pa mkukuha.. OA masyado ang requirements nila. Sinasadya tlga para d makuha.. Eh paano yung no read and write? Mas lalo mahihirapan s requirements nila. Kaya imbis ganahan ka mag impok sa bangko.. Mapapaatras k n lng..kasi gnyan pla sistema nila. 😂😂😂.. Ayw ko n mag bangko pa. Ang bangko mkinabang ng perang pinahirapan mo. Pag namatay ka, pahihirapan lang ang magmamana. Pag di naclaim kukunin nmn ng government after 10 yrs..

BDO Requirements for Claim to Account of Deceased Depositor

It is customary for a bank to freeze a depositor's account once the bank officials learn of the depositor's death. This can become a great burden for the family since the funds cannot be withdrawn until certain documentary requirements are met. (And a very good reason to open an ATM account with a co-depositor you trust.) In the event that a Banco de Oro account is frozen due to the death of the depositor, the following are the mandatory documents before the heirs can withdraw from the deceased's BDO account:

Is Tandang Sora Avenue Assigned to BIR RDO 28 or 38

Bureau of Internal Revenue RDO 28 Novaliches at 112 West Ave., Quezon City
