What is the process for getting a succession certificate for movable assets?

Obtaining a succession certificate for movable assets involves a systematic process. First, the applicant must file a petition in the relevant district or civil court where the deceased resided. The petition should include details about the deceased, the applicant’s relationship, and the movable assets involved, like bank accounts or investments. Along with the petition, supporting documents such as the death certificate, proof of relationship, and identity proof must be submitted. The court will issue notices to heirs and creditors and conduct a hearing. Once satisfied, the court issues the succession certificate, enabling asset claims.
