A father died intestate but left a nomination in favour of one of his son. there are actually two sons. The nominee would like to share the flat 50:50 with his brother. They prepared a affidavit-cum-declaration saying that they are the only legal heirs and wish to be the owners of the flat equally. They even published a public notice in two local newspaper via a advocate and obtained a no claim/objection certificate from the advocate.
Even after this the society is demanding succession certificate. Is this justified? There are only two legal heirs who will be sharing the flat equally, There is no dispute. And yet why is there a need of a succession certificate?
Thanks
