The Succession Certificate ( Grant And Revocation)

The Succession Certificate (Grant & Revocation) is a field-ready manual designed for legal practitioners, court officers and bank compliance teams who handle estate distribution and debt-recovery matters. Starting with the statutory framework and jurisdictional principles, the book takes the reader through the full lifecycle of a succession-certificate matter: drafting and filing the petition, service and notice requirements, hearings and proof of title, grant mechanics, and subsequent steps for enforcement and asset realization. A dedicated section addresses grounds and procedures for revocation — fraud, misrepresentation, subsequent discovery of will/probate, competing claims and equitable remedies — together with sample revocation petitions and tactical guidance. The volume also clarifies the relationship between probate and succession certificates, bank and financial-institution requirements for honoring claims, stamp duty/court fees, and cross-border recognition issues. Each chapter includes concise headnotes of leading decisions, practitioner checklists (document bundles, evidence lists), more than 20 template pleadings and affidavits, and flowcharts for bench-side use. Practical annexures provide specimen bank letters, no-objection formats, and a quick-reference index of statutes and cases. Clear, procedural and solution-oriented, this book reduces drafting time, anticipates oppositions, and equips professionals to secure or challenge succession certificates efficiently.
