succession certificate

AJAY KUMAR SINGH (Querist) 27 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
hi , i do have a query here regarding succession certificate . I do have my residence in Lucknow city . My parents have passed away and i have no sibling , thus one and only legal heir of the all property . I want to know the procedure of applying for succession certificate(someone told me that court takes 3% of total cost of house as fees). I have already registered my name in Nagar Nigam for the purpose of house tax(will this only suffice if in future i want to dispose my house ? ).

No. Mere entry in Tax Register does not give you right to dispose off the property. Your name should be recorded in the Record of Rights maintained in your state e.g. city survey record as owner of the property. It is advisable to have succession certifcate.
