Probate &
Succession Law.
Statutory compliance and representation under the Indian Succession Act for the lawful administration and transfer of estates in Gujarat.
Probate of Wills
Probate establishes the legal validity of a Will and grants the executor the authority to administer the deceased's estate. It is often a mandatory prerequisite for the mutation of immovable property and the release of high-value banking assets.
The Legal Process:
- Filing the probate petition before the competent court of jurisdiction.
- Issuing public citations and managing potential objections or caveats from legal heirs.
- Securing the final grant of probate to execute the testator's wishes seamlessly.
Succession Certificates
In cases where an individual passes away intestate (without leaving a valid Will), a Succession Certificate is required to establish the rightful legal heirs.
Our firm handles the drafting and filing of petitions under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, enabling heirs to lawfully claim and realize movable assets, including bank balances, fixed deposits, shares, and other securities.
Letters of Administration
When a person dies intestate leaving behind an estate that requires administration, or if a Will exists but no executor is named (or the named executor declines), the court grants Letters of Administration.
We represent administrators in obtaining these letters, ensuring they have the legal authority necessary to manage, divide, and distribute both movable and immovable assets in accordance with applicable personal succession laws.
