What is a certificate of succession?
It is a document that proves how much of the property each person owns. This includes bank deposits (liquid money), shares, cars, certificates and bonds, stocks, insurance amounts, etc., and the right court has to give it. Section 371 of the Succession Act of 1925 says that a certificate can be given by the District Judge where the deceased usually lived at the time of his death, or, if he didn’t have a fixed place to live at the time of his death, by the District Judge where any part of the deceased’s property may be found.
WHY YOU NEED A WARISAN CERTIFICATE

WHY YOU NEED A SUCCESS CERTIFICATE

The bank and other government offices need this license to change the ownership of these fixed properties.

HOW TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF SUCCESSION:
Step 1: Documents you need:
Pictures of the applicant and heirs (passport size), NIDs of the applicant and heirs, the Warisan Certificate and NID of the dead person, and the death certificate of the deceased person.
Step 2: Getting the application ready:
According to Section 372 of the Succession Act of 1925, the applicant must make an application, verify and sign it, and send it to the District Judge in whose jurisdiction the deceased normally lived at the time of his death, or, if he did not have a fixed place of residence at the time of his death, to the District Judge in whose jurisdiction any part of the deceased’s property can be found after paying the right court fees.
Step 3: The court process of warisan certificate:
The right court will start the process by giving the applicant a chance to have a preliminary hearing, and if the application is accepted, the hearing will be held.
After the preliminary hearing, the judge will set a date for the final hearing and send notice to whoever the judge thinks should know about it.
After the last hearing, if the judge finds that the applicant has the right to the certificate, he or she will make an order that the certificate be given to the applicant.
If the judge can’t decide who has the right to the certificate without answering questions of law or fact that seem too complicated and hard to answer quickly, he may still give the certificate to the applicant if it seems like he has the best claim to it.
Step 4: What’s on the certificate:
When the District Judge gives a certificate, he must list the bills and securities that were listed in the application for the certificate. This can give the person who received the certificate the power to:
(a) to get interest or profits on, or
(b) to talk about money or property,
(c) to both get interest or dividends on the stocks or any of them and to trade or sell them.
