Our Process of Obtaining Succession Certificate

Prepare All Required Documents

Our succession certificate lawyers prepare and verify all required documents. This includes obtaining the death certificate, identity proof and proof of residence. Additionally, we compile an inventory of the deceased’s assets and liabilities, which is crucial for supporting the application.

File the Petition

We draft and file a detailed petition in the appropriate civil court. This petition includes critical information such as the deceased’s time of death, details of their assets and a list of legal heirs.

Handle Court Procedures and Notices

Once the petition is filed, we manage all subsequent court procedures. This includes the publication of notices in local newspapers to invite objections from the public and notifying all legal heirs. If any heirs need to submit no-objection certificates, we assist them in doing so.

Representation

Our lawyers for the succession certificate represent you in court, presenting all necessary documents and addressing any objections. If the court is satisfied with the application and there are no valid objections, it issues the succession certificate, formally recognizing your authority to manage the deceased’s assets​ ​.

Finalize Documentation and Asset Distribution

After obtaining the succession certificate, we assist you in completing any additional legal requirements and finalizing the distribution of assets. We ensure that the transfer of assets is conducted smoothly and in accordance with legal guidelines.

Advisory and Compliance

As an insolvency law firm, we offer advisory services on regulatory compliance and risk management. We help clients navigate complex legal landscapes, ensuring adherence to insolvency and bankruptcy regulations. Our team provides strategic planning to mitigate risks associated with financial distress, advises on compliance with statutory obligations and assists in developing policies to prevent future insolvency issues.

Creditor and Debtor Representation

We represent both creditors and debtors in insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings. For creditors, we advocate for the protection and recovery of their claims, including filing claims, and challenging unfavorable resolutions. For debtors, we provide legal support to manage liabilities, negotiate with creditors and explore options for restructuring or bankruptcy relief.

Liquidation and Asset Management

When liquidation becomes necessary, we provide expert guidance and management throughout the process. We assist in the orderly winding up of businesses, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and maximizing asset value. Our services include asset sales, distribution of proceeds to creditors and managing creditor claims.
