Succession Certificate from District Court Chandigarh (FAQ)

Last Updated on July 8, 2024 by Satish Mishra

Succession Certificate is required from competent court of law i.e. District Courts usually in Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Mohali, where the deceased has died without a will and the assets left will be distributed as per succession laws.

But legal heir certificate (LHC) & Succession certificate (SC) are two different things, so don’t get confused.

LHC is now obsolete and only entitled for government employees of UT. Chandigarh for payment of dues paid by government and not for any sorts of property transfer/distribution/partition.

SC is filed under Section 372 of Indian Succession Act, 1925. The appeal against the order/decree of Succession petition lies to Punjab Haryana High Court Chandigarh.
