The Grant of succession certificate does not determine any question of tittle or decide what property does or does not belong to the estate of the decased, it merely enable the party to whom the certificate is granted to collect any debt or security belonging to the decased.

Letter of administration: Upon the death of a person intestate, or leaving a will without appointing executors, or when the executors appointed by the will cannot or will not act, the civil court appoint an administrator who performs similar duties to an executor. The court does this by granting letters of administration to the person so entitled. Grants of administration may be either general or limited.

Index 2 means you have to transfer the asset under a transfer deed register it , transferring it as administrator to Beneficiary (you could be both. )..... Upon such registration you get the index 2 from registrar office
