About This Service
A succession certificate is issued by a civil court under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and authorises the holder to collect debts and securities belonging to a deceased person. It is required by banks, companies, and government bodies before they release the deceased's assets to legal heirs. Our lawyers file the petition, publish required notices, and represent you in court until the certificate is issued.
