A succession certificate, issued by the court after necessary investigation, establishes who the legal heirs are and grants them the authority over the debts, securities and assets of the deceased. It also mentions the relation of the petitioner with the deceased, details of other surviving legal heirs, the time, date and place of death of the deceased and that the deceased died intestate.

A petition needs to be filed with the district court or high court within whose jurisdiction the asset is located.

Application for such a certificate shall be made to the District Judge by a petition signed and verified by or on behalf of the applicant in the manner prescribed by the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, (5 of 1908.) for the signing and verification of a plaint by or on behalf of a plaintiff, and setting forth the following particulars, namely:--

(a) the time of the death of the deceased;

(b) the ordinary residence of the deceased at the time of his death and, if such residence was not within the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Judge to whom the application is made, then the property of the deceased within those limits;

(c) the family or other near relatives of the deceased and their respective residences;

(d) the right in which the petitioner claims;

(e) the absence of any impediment under section 370 or under any other provision of this Act or any other enactment, to the grant of the certificate or to the validity

thereof if it were granted; and

(f) the debts and securities in respect of which the certificate is applied for.

Details: The name and relationship of the petitioner, names of all heirs of the deceased, details about the time, date and place of death should be mentioned in the application. A copy of the death certificate has to be produced.

Process: The certificate is granted by a competent civil court after you file an appropriate petition mentioning the details of legal heirs, property etc. The court will thereafter issue notices to all the legal heirs to attend the proceedings. The court typically issues a notice in the newspapers for a given period (generally 45 days). If no one contests the petition on the expiry of this period, the court passes an order for issuance of succession certificate.

Procedure on application.-(1) If the District Judge is satisfied that there is ground for entertaining the application, he shall fix a day for the hearing thereof and cause notice of the application and of the day fixed for the hearing--

(a) to be served on any person to whom, in the opinion of the Judge, special notice of the application should be given, and

(b) to be posted on some conspicuous part of the court-house and published in such other manner, if any, as the Judge, subject to any rules made by the High Court in this behalf, thinks fit, and upon the day fixed, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, shall proceed to decide in a summary manner the right to the certificate.

(2) When the Judge decides the right thereto to belong to the applicant, the Judge shall make an order for the grant of the certificate to him.

(3) If the Judge cannot decide the right to the certificate without determining questions of law or fact which seem to be too intricate and difficult for determination in a summary proceeding, he may nevertheless grant a certificate to the applicant if he appears to be the person having prima facie the best title thereto.

Fees: The court levies a fixed percentage of the value of the estate as fee for issuance of the certificate.

Court having jurisdiction to grant certificate.-

The District Judge within whose jurisdiction the deceased ordinarily resided at the time of his death, or, if at that time had no fixed place of residence, the District Judge, within whose jurisdiction any part of the property of the deceased may be found, may grant a certificate under this Part.

Points to note

2. In addition to the court fee, the lawyer's fee also needs to be taken into account.

3. If the petition is not contested, the court usually issues a succession certificate in five to seven months.

4. You have to approach the civil court by filing a petition along with the property details, legal heirs and the death certificate of the property owner to obtain succession certificate.

If father bequeathed a will then you can choose Probate or Letter of administration. Other wise as per your query with regard to the concern of Cooperative bye-law succession certificate is the only remedy. Other wise legal heirship certificate is enough for transfer .

1. Your father died without making a will there is no question of probate.

2. You and your siblings can file a petition for the grant of succession certificate in the competent court.

3. The cost will be the fee of your lawyer and the court fee. Since the court fee is not uniform across India only a local lawyer can tell you what it is,
