Hello,
I am helping a relative (in India) receive her share of inheritance from a person (Indian national) who died intestate. Part of his holdings are overseas, and involve dealing with overseas authorities.
It is known in the family that he wrote no will, none of the inheritors is contesting that fact.
However, when dealing with overseas authorities, we may need to submit some evidence to that effect.
How does one go about PROVING that a person died without writing a will in India?
Can an official document be obtained from an advocate, a court or a government authority that no will exists? Or will a sworn affidavit be sufficient?
Appreciate your help!
