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 ? ).

In your case there is no need to take succession certificate. By law of inheritance you become the legal heir automatically. You can dispose of the property as your inherited property.
