[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Where to Apply

  • District Court: The application is typically filed in the District Court (e.g., District Courts in Mohali/Chandigarh) under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925.
  • Jurisdiction: Apply to the court where the deceased resided at the time of death or where their property is located. [2, 3]

Key Documents Required

  • Application Form (prescribed format).
  • Deceased Person’s Death Certificate (original).
  • Photo Identity Proofs of all Legal Heirs (Aadhaar, Voter ID, etc.).
  • Liability Affidavit: From all legal heirs (on stamp paper) affirming no other heirs, no will, and undertaking dues.
  • Proof of Residence of deceased/heirs (e.g., Property documents, Tehsil/Councilor affidavit).
  • Details of Debts & Securities (bank accounts, property) for which the certificate is sought. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6]
