The Indian Succession Act, 1925

Nasik Law House’s The Indian Succession Act, 1925 by Adv. Abhaya Shelkar (NLH021) provides a structured, authoritative, and easy-to-understand commentary on one of India’s most significant statutes governing inheritance and estate transfer. Presented in clear Marathi, the book covers every essential chapter of the Act, including testamentary succession, intestate succession, wills, codicils, executors, administrators, probate procedures, and the rights of heirs across different religious communities. Each provision is explained with illustrations, practical notes, and references that help readers understand how the law operates in real disputes and administrative procedures. The book also elaborates on procedures related to probate and Letters of Administration—critical areas for legal practitioners handling estate matters. Special focus is given to classification of heirs, rights of widows and children, succession among Christians and Parsis, and legal requirements for drafting and proving a valid will. The author simplifies complex sections into concise explanations supported by updated legal principles, making the book extremely valuable for courts, lawyers, students, and government officers.
