At Harinder Singh Advocate, we provide expert legal services for obtaining Succession Certificates, which are often required to establish the rightful ownership and authority of legal heirs over the debts, securities, and movable assets of a deceased person. Unlike a Legal Heir Certificate, which identifies the heirs of a deceased, a Succession Certificate is issued by a civil court and gives the heir legal authority to collect debts, operate bank accounts, transfer shares, or claim other movable assets of the deceased.
Importance of a Succession Certificate
A Succession Certificate is necessary for:
Claiming bank deposits, fixed deposits, and savings accounts of the deceased.
Transferring or selling shares, bonds, mutual funds, and securities.
Settling loans, debts, and liabilities of the deceased.
Claiming amounts from insurance companies.
Establishing heirship in probate or inheritance disputes relating to movable assets.
