Hi Srishti

Thanks for taking time and responding me.

Like to check again on Succession certificate here. Nomination is available and if there is no dispute here then why should we go lengthy process of getting succession certificate.  Futher no objection is all given here. More over the person claiming is family member and relation is established through various government documents. 

Who much the succession certificate cost here.
