We have scenarios when legal heirs stake ownership of title and possession in this case. The title to a property can be transmitted by a systematic process based on a factum of a Will or the Law of Natural Succession, in which class I legal heirs are the inheritors.

A Gift Deed can also be used to make a transfer while the person is still living. A person can also claim his right across a partition in some instances.

After these steps are completed, the person has complete ownership power. Our firm can handle all connected tasks, including obtaining documentation and later selling the property if desired.

Some examples of succession certificates: Even if an overseas citizen has knowledge of specifics regarding land he believes is his, he may find himself in a scenario where either a parent or an uncle/aunt has died without leaving a Will.

Knowing that a piece of land is his does not negate the requirement for sufficient evidence to support a claim.

Some restrictions govern how a deceased person’s possessions are distributed to his or her heirs.

A Succession Certificate is a document issued by the court to the heirs of the deceased in order for them to claim movable property. It is significant, and appropriate advice should be obtained before making and implementing these.
Generally, banks will not release funds or FDs unless a document of this type is granted to the successor. It is used for movable assets such as bank deposits, FDs, and so on.

If someone dies intestate (without leaving a Will), the Civil Court might order the debts and securities of the deceased to be released. It establishes the heirs’ legitimacy and empowers them to have deposits and other assets transferred into their names. On an application filed by the beneficiaries in a court of competent jurisdiction, it is issued under the applicable inheritance laws.

  • The first step for any beneficiary is to file for a succession certificate in the same court within whose jurisdiction the dead person resided, to inherit the assets of the deceased or even get them transferred in his name.
  • The document/certificate that is issued establishes the authenticity of the petitioner and gives him the authority to have the assets transferred to his name. Along with authority, the beneficiary will also carry with him the full responsibility and liability of honouring any debt or security attached to that particular property.
  • For all applications made by a recipient to a court of competent jurisdiction, the document in all cases is issued as per the applicable laws of inheritance.

Succession Certificate for property

A succession certificate is a document issued by a competent (civil) court that certifies a rightful person as the heir of a deceased person. This certificate authorises the deceased person’s successor(s) to realise debts and securities. The issuance of a succession certificate does not confer the right of succession to a deceased person’s claimed property because it does not determine the deceased person’s right, title, and interest in a specific property or the entire property. However, the intestate deceased person’s successor(s) is/are entitled to inherit the deceased person’s property (ies).

According to Section 370 of the Indian Succession Act, when a deceased person leaves a validly executed Will, the entire estate of the deceased person under that will vests on the executor of the will, and a Succession Certificate cannot be granted in such cases. In eligible cases, the District Court (Section 371 of the said Act) in whose jurisdiction the deceased person generally resided is the competent court to issue such certificate.

Under the Indian Succession Act, a succession certificate is a document that authorises the person who obtains it to represent the deceased in collecting debts and securities due to him or payable in his name. In the absence of a will, a succession certificate will usually be the primary document through which the heirs can stake a claim to the assets of a deceased relative.

A succession certificate should be obtained by petitioning a magistrate or a high court. In most cases, the court has a separate cell that issues succession certificates. When it comes to immovable property, there are other documents that can help, such as a gift deed.
This certificate authorises the deceased person’s successor(s) to realise debts and securities. The issuance of a succession certificate does not confer the right of succession to a deceased person’s claimed property because it does not determine the deceased person’s right, title, and interest in a specific property or the entire property. However, the intestate deceased person’s successor(s) is/are entitled to inherit the deceased person’s property.
