How can a surviving spouse find out who the beneficiary is on an account in India that she had no knowledge of prior to her husband's death? Can the beneficiary status be contested?
Whether or not a surviving spouse would have any ability to obtain such information or to contest it once she did obtain it, would strictly be a matter of Indian law. If you believe that there's an account in India, you'll have to contact an attorney who is conversant with law in that jurisdiction to advise you.
