Succession Certificate
Help to get a succession certificate from the court, so legal heirs can claim bank deposits, shares and other dues.
What you get
A succession certificate is issued by a civil court under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. It lets the legal heirs collect the debts and securities of a person who has died, such as bank deposits, shares and other money owed to them.
