Step by Step
Our Process of Obtaining a Succession Certificate
Prepare All Required Documents
Our succession certificate lawyers prepare and verify all required documents. This includes obtaining the death certificate, identity proof and proof of residence. Additionally, we compile an inventory of the deceased’s assets and liabilities, which is crucial for supporting the application.
File the Petition
We draft and file a detailed petition in the appropriate civil court. This petition includes critical information such as the deceased’s time of death, details of their assets and a list of legal heirs.
Handle Court Procedures and Notices
Once the petition is filed, we manage all subsequent court procedures. This includes the publication of notices in local newspapers to invite objections from the public and notifying all legal heirs. If any heirs need to submit no-objection certificates, we assist them in doing so.
Representation
Our lawyers for the succession certificate represent you in court, presenting all necessary documents and addressing any objections. If the court is satisfied with the application and there are no valid objections, it issues the succession certificate, formally recognising your authority to manage the deceased’s assets.
Finalise Documentation and Asset Distribution
After obtaining the succession certificate, we assist you in completing any additional legal requirements and finalising the distribution of assets. We ensure that the transfer of assets is conducted smoothly and in accordance with legal guidelines.
