About inheritance
In the event of your death, your legal heir can inherit the gold in your Gold Locker. To make sure your heir can inherit your gold, arrange for your legal heir to contact Google Pay/MMTC-PAMP and inform them of their status as your legal heir. After confirming your heir’s identity, MMTC-PAMP closes your gold account and physically delivers your gold to them.
