Succession Certificate for Ancestral Property

Sucession certificate can be obtained for the money receivable by the deceased.

The immovable property will devolve to the legal heirs  as per the  provisions of personal law of the deceased. Any right on an immovable property cannot be transferred without a registered document if the value of the property exceeds Rs.100/-.

No succession certificate is required in case of inheritance of immovable property. To mutate the revenue records, Legal heir certificate is to be obtained from the concerned revenue authorities. Succession certificate is required only in case of transfer of shares, securities and money deposits of deceased person.

The answer is in affirmative without any doubt.
