What is a Succession Certificate?
A Succession Certificate is a legal document issued by a competent court or NADRA that establishes the rightful heirs of a deceased person and their entitlement to inherit movable assets. These assets may include:
Bank accounts
Investments (e.g., shares, securities)
Pension claims
Insurance proceeds
What is a Letter of Administration?
A Letter of Administration is issued when the deceased did not leave a will, and it authorizes the legal heirs to manage and transfer immovable property, such as:
Residential or commercial property
Plots and land
Rental income or lease rights
Why You Need These Documents in Karachi?
Without a Succession Certificate or Letter of Administration, legal heirs cannot access or transfer the assets of the deceased, whether movable (such as bank accounts and investments) or immovable (such as property and land). These documents are legally required by banks, property registrars, and government institutions as proof of rightful ownership. Without them, the heirs may face significant delays, disputes, or even legal rejection of their claims.
At GNS Law Associates, we offer complete legal support to help you obtain these vital documents. From preparing the necessary paperwork to filing the petition and representing you in court, our experienced lawyers ensure the entire process is handled efficiently. Whether you’re applying through NADRA or the civil courts in Karachi, we guide you every step of the way to secure your inheritance quickly and lawfully.
