Succession certificate

A succession certificate is issued by a civil court to the legal heirs of a deceased person. If a person dies without leaving a will, a succession certificate can be granted by the court to realise the debts and securities of the deceased. It establishes the authenticity of the heirs and gives them the authority to have securities and other assets transferred in their names as well as inherit debts. It is issued as per the applicable laws of inheritance on an application made by a beneficiary to a court of competent jurisdiction.

I endorse the opinion of ld. Adv.Mr. Ramachary. It is a certificate of successors to succeed the intestate property of the deceased by a court of law under relevant provisions of law.
