Dear Sir,
The following information may kindly be read.
A succession certificate is issued by a civil court to the legal heirs of a deceased person. If a person dies without leaving a will, a succession certificate can be granted by the court to realise the debts and securities of the deceased. 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. It is issued as per the applicable laws of inheritance on an application made by a beneficiary to a court of competent jurisdiction. A succession certificate is necessary, but not always sufficient, to release the assets of the deceased. For these, a death certificate, letter of administration and no-objection certificates will be needed.
Application: A petition needs to be filed with the district court or high court within whose jurisdiction the asset is located.
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 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.
Fees: The court levies a fixed percentage of the value of the estate as fee for issuance of the certificate.
Points to note
The court fee has to be paid in the form of judicial stamp papers of the required amount, after which the certificate is typed, duly signed and delivered.
In addition to the court fee, the lawyer’s fee also needs to be taken into account.
If the petition is not contested, the court usually issues a succession certificate in five to seven months.
1. The value mentioned in the petition applying for succession certificate is taken care of.
2. Court fees varies in every state and hence it is advisable to speak with local lawyers on this issue.
Dear Client,
SC will bear court fees, market value of share, First try through LHC and if any nominee than shares will deliver to nominee than will distribute between heirs.
The court fees would be charged on the face value of the shares, which added up to Rs250. The value of the shares being less than Rs1,000, the issue of succession certificate attracted zero court fees.
1. The face value described by the TN govt will have to be considered.
2. Succession certificate will have to be obtained.
Succession certificate is not required for the transaction in immovable property.
Succession certificate is required for the movable assets only that too if the indemnity bond will not be sufficient.
For succession certificate, court fee has to be paid only on the current market value of shares. If the value is less than Rs.5 lakh, legal heirs certificate should suffice.
Hello,
Market value will be considered.
Kindly consult a local advocate to take advise on the exemption.
Regards
Any transfer of immovable property succession certificate is required. Other petty things can be managed through legal heir certificate
