Demat account without nominee or will

If the sole holder or all the joint holders of a demat account die and if a nomination has been made in the account, then the securities will be transmitted to the nominee. The nominee has to make a request using the transmission form supported by a duly notarised copy of the death certificate to transmit the beneficial ownership of the securities held in the demat account to the account of the nominee.

Thanks for your reply. All my questions pertain to demat accounts without nominee. Please advise.

If your father or mother is a Govt Employee you can get family certificate from local MRO office. Otherwise you have to apply for succession certificate before court of law. Stamp duty varies from state to state and  the fees of an Advocate depends upon your wish.

You will have to seek succession certificate from competent civil court through a local prudent lawyer.

List of out all the certificates in a table form and you can obtain a succession certificate for all the share certificates detailed in the schedule part.  Contact a local advocate for expediting the process.
