My father has been missing for over 7 years and we have got a declaration of death decree from the courts. We have applied for succession certificate in the court u/s 372 of Indian Succession Act with me / my siblings requesting for a certificate in favor of my mother. We have applied for movable as well as immovable assets that were acquired by him during his lifetime. Could someone please help me with following queries:
1. Can we get a succession certificate for immovable assets / properties or is succession certificate only applicable for movable assets?
2. in case succ certificate is not applicable for immovable properties, what is the procedure for getting immovable assets moved into my mother's name?
3. How is the value of court fee determined for succession - is it based on value of assets or some fixed fee is prescribed? If it is based on value, what value of asset is considered - acquisition value or current market value or some other benchmark?
Thanks
