My friend's father died two years ago, He was having back account in Allahabad Bank. There are two daughters and sick mother now (daughters adult). They have now filed a petition in Judges Court, Kolkata to get a succession certificate (hired a private lawyer and have almost spend 70-80k till now). Its been 20 months till now and they haven't got the succession certificate yet. Only one daughter is working and it's becoming impossible for her to handle all the expenses of sick mother, take care of younger sister and manage everything.
Ideally succession certificate should have been obtained within 40-45 days but this is really surprising that its going to be two years till now.
What she should do?
