Who can apply for a succession certificate in Indore?
The following persons can apply for a succession certificate in Indore:
- The legal heirs of the deceased person, such as the spouse, children, parents, siblings, and grandchildren.
- The executor of the deceased person’s will, if there is one.
- A creditor of the deceased person, if the deceased person died without leaving a will and the creditor has a claim against the deceased person’s estate.
To be considered a legal heir, a person must be related to the deceased person by blood or marriage. If the deceased person died without leaving a will, the legal heirs will be determined according to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, if the deceased person was a Hindu, or the Indian Succession Act, 1925, if the deceased person was not a Hindu.
If the deceased person died without leaving a will and there is no executor appointed by the deceased person, then any of the legal heirs can apply for a succession certificate.
If the deceased person died without leaving a will and there is a creditor who has a claim against the deceased person’s estate, then the creditor can apply for a succession certificate. However, the creditor will need to obtain the permission of the court to apply for a succession certificate.
