The difference between a succession certificate and Probatee is that when a person dies without a will, one has to apply for a succession certificate; if the person dies leaving behind a will, then one has to apply for a probate of the will instead of a succession certificate.
A declatory suit is one where you pray for a declaration that you are the rightful owner etc etc.
