Nomination is the process of designating a person who will receive the proceeds of your financial assets (bank accounts, insurance, mutual funds, shares) in case of your death. The nominee is a custodian, not necessarily the legal heir. Nomination can be updated anytime.

Without a nominee on your mutual fund account, your family will need a succession certificate from court to claim the money — adding months of delay and legal costs.
