I got a death certificate and a succession certificate of my grandfather made from their lawyers. They got that to me on time. Thanks.
According to the Indian Succession Act, a succession certificate is a document that authorizes a person to represent the deceased for debts and securities due to him or payable under his name. A succession certificate is a cue in the absence of a will, it serves as a primary document through which the heirs can claim the assets of the deceased relative in the relevant jurisdiction, in the case of movable property. However, when it comes to immovable property there are documents like gift deeds. This certificate authorizes a person to protect and procure the debt and securities of the deceased person. After issuing the certificates, the beneficiary doesn’t get the absolute right of succession over the property of the deceased person because a succession certificate doesn’t determine the right, title, interest of the deceased person to a particular property or the entire property. The successor of the intestate person is/are entitled to the inheritance of the deceased’s property.
You must collect the documents to suggest the asset or debt belonged to the deceased and the death certificate of the deceased, their identity card, ration card of all legal heirs and any other documents as suggested by the lawyer.
A petition for succession certificate includes details such as the time of death of the deceased, residence or details of properties of the deceased at the time of death, details of family or other near relatives and others. It is best advised to find legal help in order to create the petition, because if anything goes amiss, it may have serious consequences.
The petition will be moved in a court of competent jurisdiction and the date of the visit shall be intimated to you by the lawyer.
After hearing all parties, the Judge shall decide the right of the petitioner to be granted the succession certificate.
The complete procedure of obtaining a Succession Certificate will take 30-45 days depending on the court.
