How to apply for succession certificate in the court
A Succession Certificate is a document that is granted by a civil court to the legal heirs of a deceased who dies without leaving a will. It is granted by the court to realize the debts and securities of the deceased. In the case of Muthia vs Ramnatham,[1], it was held that the privilege of certificate gives to the grantee a right to recover the debt due to the deceased person, and payment to the grantee is a good release of the debt.” 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. In the absence of a will, if there is no heir amongst the account owners and a no nomination had been prepared by the holder (s), a succession certificate is the primary certificate through which the heirs can stake a claim to the assets of a deceased relative.
A Succession certificate is issued by the government, usually to establish a relationship for claims relating to Insurance, pension, retirement benefits or service benefits of central and state government departments, Government undertakings etc. In legal succession cases sine qua non to obtain a succession certificate is to establish the relationship.
In the matter of Paramananda Chary vs Veerappan[2] , it was held that ”The grant of succession certificate is conclusive against the debtor. Also if another person turns out to be the heir of the deceased, it does not follow that the certificate is invalid”. All required documents are to be submitted while lodging the application.
