Our team of experienced legal consultants and court practitioners provides comprehensive assistance in preparing, filing, and obtaining the Legal Heirship Certificate in accordance with the applicable laws and procedures in Pakistan.

What is a Legal Heirship Certificate?

A Legal Heirship Certificate (also known as Warasat Certificate in Urdu) is an official document issued by a civil court or the relevant government authority (such as NADRA in some cases), confirming the names and relationship of the heirs of a deceased person. This document serves as proof for legal heirs to claim the deceased’s estate and facilitates the lawful distribution of assets among them.

Who Can Apply?

Legal heirs typically include:

• Spouse (husband or wife)

• Children (sons and daughters)

• Parents (mother and father)

• Siblings (in the absence of immediate heirs)

Any one of the legal heirs can apply for the certificate on behalf of the others, with their consent.

• Transferring property ownership (urban or agricultural land)

• Withdrawing bank funds or closing accounts
