Succession Suit

Succession Suit

A succession suit is a legal proceeding filed to establish rights of heirs and beneficiaries over the estate of a deceased person. It becomes necessary when disputes arise regarding inheritance, distribution of assets, or validity of a will. Succession suits ensure that property, movable or immovable, is lawfully transferred to rightful heirs as per succession laws.

Types of Succession Matters

Testamentary Succession – Distribution of assets according to a valid will left by the deceased.

Intestate Succession – When a person dies without a will, property is distributed as per personal laws (Hindu Succession Act, Indian Succession Act, etc.).

Succession Certificate – Legal authorization to claim debts, securities, and movable property of the deceased.

Contested Succession Suits – Disputes among heirs regarding inheritance, property division, or validity of a will.
