I presume you have the death certificate of the person deceased.
Contact your banker and obtain the list of documents they would require.
Generally, banks require letter of inheritance or letter of succession, indemnity and affidavits.
A letter of inheritance or letter of succession can be obtained from the civil court. You may engage any local lawyer who would help you in the purpose. Similarly, the affidavit and indemnity can be prepared in the format prescribed by the bank or as suggested by the lawyer. Get the same notarised.
All the above documents are sufficient enough to help you obtain your money.
