Sir, We two brothers are holding WILL from our mother(now no more) and getting grant of probate from the court. We have applied for legal heir certificate too. After death of testator Oct 08( My mother) 60% pension arrears of 6th pay commission are heldup with Pension disbursement authority ammouting to approx sixty thousand. Pension authority told us to get succession certificate too. We have one married sister and we are willing to share the amount so received(say not dispure). Are the first two documents not sufficient to support claim. Thanks

If you have got Probate of the Will then there is no requirement for Succession Certificate. In any case even the benefits out of the pensionary disbursement is to be divided or given as per the directions of the Will.
