We (myself Mariam, a daughter, and my brother) have inherited a CHS flat in Mumbai from our deceased father. The society requires us to produce succession certificate. One of us intends to file a succession certificate petition. We know that the court fee for such a petition attracts a court fee of 7% of property value.
Q1: Is there is any concessional court fee if the petitioner is a woman ?Whom should I approach to get authentic information about it ?
Q2: How long would it take to get the certificate if I do not expect any one to dispute our claim ? We shall submit brother's notarized and registerd NOC along with our petition ?
Q3: I am looking for a lawyer who is equipped to handle such cases and is well informed about follow-up matters.
