Frequently Asked Questions

A succession certificate is a legal document issued by a court that authorizes legal heirs to collect debts, securities, or other movable assets belonging to a deceased person who did not leave a will. It gives the heirs legal standing to manage and receive such assets under the law.

The petition for a succession certificate must be filed in the civil court that has jurisdiction over the deceased’s last place of residence or where their movable assets are located. This ensures the court can properly evaluate the petition and issue the certificate.

You typically need the death certificate of the deceased, proof of your relationship with them (like birth certificate or family records), a list or valuation of debts and securities, and identification documents of all legal heirs.

If objections are raised, the court will hold a hearing where all parties can present their case. Your lawyer will represent you, submit your claim, and respond to counterarguments. After considering both sides, the court will decide whether to issue the certificate.

The process can take a few months, depending on court workload, whether objections arise, and how quickly documentation and notices can be processed. Your lawyer can help track the case and move it along efficiently.
