Common Challenges in Obtaining a Succession Certificate and How to Overcome Them

Introduction

When a loved one passes away, their legal heirs often need to claim assets like bank accounts, shares, and property. To do this, they may require a Succession Certificate, Letter of Administration, or Probate of a Will. However, getting these legal documents is not always easy. Several challenges can delay or complicate the process. In this blog, we will discuss the common challenges people face when applying for a Succession Certificate and how to overcome them.

What is a Succession Certificate?

A Succession Certificate is a legal document issued by a court to the legal heirs of a deceased person. It allows them to claim or transfer the deceased person’s movable assets such as bank deposits, shares, or debts. It does not apply to immovable assets like land or property.

Common Challenges in Obtaining a Succession Certificate

1. Lack of Awareness About the Process

Many people are unaware of how to apply for a Succession Certificate. They do not know where to start or what documents they need.

Solution:

Visit the district court or consult a legal expert to understand the process.

Research online about the required documents and steps involved.

2. Incomplete or Missing Documents

The court requires several documents, including the death certificate, identity proofs, and details of the deceased's assets. If any document is missing, the application may be delayed or rejected.

Solution:

Ensure you have all necessary documents before applying.

If any document is missing, check with relevant authorities to get a duplicate copy.

3. Legal Disputes Among Heirs

Sometimes, family members do not agree on asset distribution. If there is a conflict, the court may not issue the Succession Certificate until the matter is resolved.

Solution:

Try to resolve disputes through mutual agreement or mediation.

If necessary, seek legal assistance to settle the matter.

4. Probate of a Will Requirement

If the deceased left a will, legal heirs may need to apply for Probate of a Will instead of a Succession Certificate. Probate is a legal process to validate the will.

Solution:

If there is a will, apply for Probate of a Will instead of a Succession Certificate.

Consult a lawyer to guide you through the probate process.

5. Court Delays

The legal process for obtaining a Succession Certificate can take several months due to case backlogs in courts.

Solution:

File the application correctly to avoid unnecessary delays.

Follow up regularly with the court or your lawyer.

6. Requirement of Letter of Administration

If there is no will, but the estate includes immovable property, heirs may need a Letter of Administration instead of a Succession Certificate.

Solution:

Determine whether you need a Succession Certificate, Probate of a Will, or Letter of Administration.

Apply for the right document based on the deceased’s estate.

7. Multiple Legal Heirs

When multiple legal heirs apply for the Succession Certificate, it can lead to complications, especially if all heirs are not available to sign the necessary documents.

Solution:

Get all legal heirs involved from the beginning.

If a legal heir is unavailable, get their consent through a power of attorney.

How to Apply for a Succession Certificate

To avoid unnecessary delays and challenges, follow these steps:

Prepare the Required Documents:

Death certificate of the deceased

Identity proofs of legal heirs

Details of assets to be claimed

Relationship proof with the deceased

File an Application:

Submit the application at the district court with jurisdiction over the deceased’s assets.

Publication of Notice:

The court will publish a notice in newspapers, inviting objections.

If no objections are received within 45 days, the court proceeds with the case.

Issuance of the Certificate:

After verifying the documents and resolving objections (if any), the court issues the Succession Certificate.

Conclusion

Obtaining a Succession Certificate, Letter of Administration, or Probate of a Will can be challenging due to legal formalities and possible disputes. However, with proper documentation, legal guidance, and awareness of the process, these challenges can be overcome. If you are facing difficulties, consult a legal expert to guide you through the process smoothly.
