Procedure

To Transfer Property Due to Death the applicant must obtain a succession certificate. If the deceased left any will the applicant has to obtain probate

• A succession certificate is a document that is issued by the court and confirms that the person named in the will is the rightful heir to the property. This is a necessary step in order to transfer the property ownership to the beneficiary.
• Probate of the will is a legal process that establishes the validity of the will and appoints an executor to carry out its terms. The probate application is filed in the court of the district in which the testator (the person who made the will) was domiciled at the time of their death.
