Re: succession of property

If there is no will left by the demised parents, you have to apply for a succession certificate from the court. If there is a will, you have to apply for probate of the will. Both courses will take about 6 to 12 months.

Re: succession of property

the question is short but the answer need to be very big!

the sucession to the property of the deceased depends upon weather the deceased had executed a will or had died intestate?

if he had died intestate - you should get a legal heir certificate fronm the local authority and proceed with it!

if there is will then - it needs to be probated!

there the administrators can proceed

finally you can apply for the sucession O.P. in the local court by including all the legal heirs ( and other entitles) and get a decree.
