Succession Certificate Legal Services

At [Your Law Firm Name], we offer expert legal consultancy for obtaining Succession Certificates—a crucial document required for transferring movable assets such as bank accounts, securities, insurance policies, and other financial instruments of a deceased individual to their rightful heirs. Our legal team is committed to providing professional, efficient, and result-oriented solutions to clients navigating through the succession process in Pakistan.

What is a Succession Certificate?

A Succession Certificate is an authoritative document issued by a competent civil court under the Succession Act, 1925. It legally empowers the rightful successor(s) of a deceased individual to collect debts and securities owed to the deceased. This certificate serves as legal proof for banks, financial institutions, and other entities to release the assets in favor of the legal heirs.

Why is it Important?

Without a Succession Certificate, legal heirs may face significant difficulties in accessing or managing the movable assets left behind by a deceased family member. Financial institutions generally do not allow the release of funds or securities without this document. It ensures lawful distribution and protects the rights of all beneficiaries, while also preventing potential disputes or fraudulent claims.

Eligibility and Required Documentation:

• Death Certificate of the deceased

• CNIC of the deceased and legal heirs

• Family registration certificate (FRC)
