ULike everyone else the police too have to complete the paperwork. They will take your statement, make a report, take your signature and file it in the court to close the case. Take your aadhaar card with you along with a photocopy.
They won’t waste your time because you are going there to help the police close the case.
Nothing to get worried.
UIf there is no dispute within the family then there is no need to go to the court for succession certificate or legal heir certificate.For flat transfer,
Death certificate
Family arrangement deed
Public notice
Indemnity bond for the society
Undertaking stating all documents are trueA covering letter from the lawyer.
This whole process can be done for under 20 thousand rupees and within one month.
If the society insists on succession certificate then fight it out with them. The society is protected by an indemnity bond and succession certificate is an indemnity for the heirs. If the heirs are ok with the risk then society should have no objections. There are many court rulings against insistence of succession certificate.
The bank procedure will depend on the amount. It it is less than a few lakhs then the bank can do it within a week of providing the death certificate, Indemnity bond but can also make the heirs run around forever.
With banks, your only help is by pleading with manager or if it was a salary account then take the help of the employer. Last resort would be threatening the bank to escalate the issue to ombudsman’s office. RBI has issued circulars to this effect..
