Succession Certificate in Pakistan
When a person dies, Succession Certificate is required in order to transfer property of deceased person to his legal heirs such as bank accounts, insurance amount, stocks, bonds, Shares etc. Law of Succession 1925 or Succession Act 1925 governs the all procedure related with succession certificate.
Application for succession certificate can be filed in the court in two ways.
First way it that legal heir can file application in the court with the consent of other legal heirs. During preceding all legal heirs record their statements in favor of that one legal heir that they do not have any objection to the issuance of succession certificate to that one legal heir. Court in this scenario decided the application in favor of one legal heir who after wards distributes the property among other hairs.
Second method to obtain succession certificate is that all legal heirs apply for succession certificate and court issue certificate to all of them according to their share.
Now a very important question arises that in which court this application should be filed. It should be filed in the civil court of the area where decreed person was residing. If deceased person’s permanent residence is not clear or he used to live at different places then the application should be filed in court where property of deceased situated.
After filing of application court issues orders to publish the case in newspapers that if there are any other claimant of property of deceased they come and contest the case. If no one appears before court after publication in newspapers then succession certificate is issued to the applicant. If someone appears before court as legal hair of deceased then court decides the matter after evidence.
A widow can obtain the succession certificate by filing application in competent court and if deceased left minor children then widow can file application as their natural guardian.
Succession laws in Pakistan and Succession Certificate in Pakistan are important but awareness about succession laws in Pakistan is not up to the mark.
Succession Certificate Act 2019
Letter of Administration and Succession Certificate Act 2019 is passed by the National Assembly of Pakistan, which authorized the NADRA to issue Succession Certificates and Letter of Administration. Click here to read more about this new law and download the complete PDF file of new law.
Dear Mr Jibran!
My father died in Saudia Arabia in 1997. After his death we could manage to transfer agriculture land in Chakwal and Rawalpindi and further dispose it off. We are 5 brothers and sisters and our mother as legal heirs. Now when we approach a local society in Lahore, Raiwand area for transfer of plot he demanded sucession certificate whereas as per my knowledge Sucession cert is required only for movable property and Legal heir cert is required for IMMOVABLE Property. We are in processs of obtaining legal heirship certificate from Islamabad courts.
Please advise
Dear Omar Farooq
Succession certificate is required for movable property and if your father left some Movable property then the legal course for you is to go to Revenue officer (Patwari) and after his satisfaction he will transfer the property to the name of legal heirs of your father. If you are in the possession of that property than its all good but if you are not in possession of property then you have to file civil suit. As far as your plot is concerned you need heirship certificate for that purpose.
MY FATHER DIED…NATIONALY NATIONAL SAVING CENTER PBA IS NOT TELLING US THE AMOUNT IN ACCOUNT OF MY FATHER…NOW WHAT SHOULD WE DO …GO TO CIVIL COURT OR SUBMIT APPLICATION TO MANAGER OF BANK?

Dear Mr.Jibran
my mother has died in rawalpindi where as she was residing with me permanently at hydrabad.my one of brother is settled their, she has some immoveable property at rawalpindi,beside some lones were due on him at hydrabad due to her permanent residence at hydrabad.value of lones etc are more than value of property which were paied by one of my brother.should i apply for succession certificate or any other process to distribute her propperty after payment of lones.it is mater of 10 years ago,what about the value of property and share of brother who paied lone,please advise
Dear Mr. Rafaqat
Whenever Muslim male or female die, all his property movable or immovable transferred to his legal heirs but after the payment of loans of that person. In you case you are saying that loans of you mother are more in value than her property so in that case all property should be sold out and then loans should be paid to creditors.
But if value of property is greater than outstanding loans than remaining property must be distributed among all the heirs of you mother. In that situation you should file suit in proper court if your brothers are not giving you your due share in property.
With regards

My father had two families, both the family know existence of each other. One of his daughter lives in UK where my father had a business. He closed his business and transfered money to his personal account. Just before he could divide, he died with a heart attack. I am in touch with the bank and a lawyer in UK.
I am in pursuit of succession certificate for a year now. My lawyer is just making lame excuses that we need this we need that, court is closed, judge is on leave; list goes on.
Can you please tell me how can I obtain succession certificate? I am tired of lawyers, and I do not have enough money to pay lawyers.
I live in Karachi, and concerned court is District East Court. I know you are based in Multan, but I am sure you can advice well.
Thank you
MR. Ali your problem is not legal one because you already engaged lawyer and your case is in progress. if you have any problem with your lawyer change it.
as far as the legal process is concerned for succession certificate you have to file a suit in the court. it may take long time due to slow process of Pakistan legal system but within 6 months it should be decided.
My father passed away recently and he left a house and 1 plot behind which are in his name. We are 4 brothers and 3 sisiters. My mother decided to sold plot which is in my father name. Can you advise me how can we sold our father land property in sialkot. What is the procedure to get all legal requirement for sialkkt citizens. Thank you

hope you get the required information
U should apply for succession certificate in civil court which declare ur brother heirs and by this way they can take allownces
Whether succession certificate is required to be obtained to settle claims like family assistnce pckhage,pension, benvevolent fund and group insurance GP Fund, leave encashment etc of a deceased government servant who died while in service
Aoa,
My father has been died during ex-pakistan leave. I am of the view that since pension, GP Fund and Benevloent fund are not tarka hence not divisible among leagal heirs and claiming them does not require succession certificate. Please if I m correct or otherwise

thanks for your reply and advice on this forum
we really appreciate it
what is the legal value of bank account nominations…is the amount and savings certificates transferred to the nominees? or they are divided according to succession certificate.
Dear sir
What is the procedure for withdrawal of amount in PBA account National saving center in case of death of account holder
And If more then 1 legal heirs and not agree on nominee
@Sohail
you need to get Succession certificate for this
This rule no longer exists.
with thousands apologies, in case, bank account is in National saving center,there is no need any Succession certificate and nominee need to direct contact with bank manager with death certificate of account holder and a affidavit with two witness with photograph matter will be settled same day.
What is the General Power of Attorney. My father died but before that he gave power of attorney to my brother to put our house on rent. Now can my brother sell the house without taking any consent from rest of the family. Moreover, for succession certificate do all of us siblings have to appear in court physically.
No Your brother cannot sell it
and yes all of siblings have to appear in court physically
what is the legal value of bank account nominations…is the amount and savings certificates transferred to the nominees? or they are divided according to succession certificate.
I need to obtain succession certifcate after the death of my father. But I am told that I need to specify the amount present in the bank account for which Im obtaining the certificate. Is it right that I need to disclose the exact amount in my father’s bank account to obtain the certificate?
Regards
Saba
Karachi
@saba ali
yes it is right you need to specify the exact amount and then you can obtain it.
you should send a legal notice to the bank concerned advising to furnish information regarding your father’s account. i.e. amount lying in the account etc.
Dear, I need to know in a situation where a man died, left behind a widow and two children(minor), having bank balance of Rs 4 million.
What will be the procedure for the disbursement of that money and how much is the share of the widow and the children and is there any amount blocked by the court in case of minor heirs.
@Adnan
Mother is guardian of minors and she will be entitled with all money because minors are in her custody she is their guardian after death of father.
simply file suit in civil court and obtain the degree then mother will get all the money.

Dear Jibran,
My father had 2 marriages & and he died 2 years ago, My mother got divorced & then my father married a women just 8 months before his death. He was a govt. employee & didnt leave any will before his death. Now there are only 2 heirs left that is me & my ex-mother (didnt mention my mother as she is divorced). Welfare dept. of my father’s office say that you have to give us the succession cert in order to get the GP fund,pension graduaty etc etc. because there is a dispute between me & my ex-mother. Now please guide me that how & from where can i obtain a Succession Cert. as my father lived in rent houses & he kept changing them till his death. Secondly after giving the Succession Cert. to Welfare Dept. Will i get my share separately ? If yes then will it be greater/lesser than my ex-mother’s share or will it be divided equally ? (Because according to Shariah Law i get 87.50% out of 100%)
Please reply as soon as possible
Thanks
@Rafy

Dear-
Thank you for running such informative and updated website.
I have a question for you.
My father died couple of years ago. I have one special adult brother (mentally retarded). I want to ask you how can we manage to sell the property (a house) in father name. Does my mother need a guardianship certificate for the special brother. and if yes, how can we get that, please elaborate.
Also what is the legal process/guideline of selling that house give that I have the General Power of Attorney from all other legal heirs except that special brother.
Let me know, if I need to provide further information.
_
Thanks
Asif
@Asif
You need to get a medical certificate from authorized medical officer to prove that your adult brother is mentally retarded. you have to file application in session court in this respect. without this procedure you cannot sell the house of your father.
You have general power of attorney but you cannot sell house without getting medical certificate about your special brother.
hope you get your answers
Malik Jibran Jamshed Awan Advocate High Court
Awan Law Associates Multan
Hi-
Thank you so much for the response.
Can you please specify who this “authorized medical officer” should be. Is this something appointed by the court after I file the case or should I just get the certificate from any medical officer in public sector hospital.
I will really appreciate if you could SPECIFY certain steps or tasks that I need to go through.

Thanks
Asif
@Asif
yes first of all you have to file suit then you have to obtain the orders of court in this respect
Hello!
My brother passed away in Dec. 2010. My mother and myself are the only two heir now as my father is also passed away before my brother and we do not have any other heirs.
I filed for succession certificate through a lawyer and all paper work were done such as ad in paper etc. and per lawyer court has accepted everything in favor of my mother and myself as two heirs.
My lawyer says that to get the final certificate, we have to have a guarantor to guarantee on our behalves.
Is that true and do we need one to get the certificate?
Please help and clarify this?
Thanks.
@Javed
yes you need to give guarantor in order to get succession certificate
regards
Awan Law Associates Multan
Thanks for the reply. I did got a guarantor and court finally issued the certificate.
Now the problem is that when we presented this certificate to the banks, they said their lawyers will verify the certificate with the court again and the banks will charge me the lawyers fees.
Is that what the process is? It looks like that banks do not trust either Pakistani Court certificates or this is their way of extracting money from the clients as they are now in need to have the deceased money be given to the heirs.
Thanks.
Respected Jibran,
My brother in law died two month ago. He borrowed one son from another family( as he didn’t have any child). he registered that borrowed child as a son and get the b-form also.
now what is the law for his property distribution to his son and wife or any other relative.
please guide, if possible.
@Nazeer
As your brother in law registered child as his son so in eye of law he is the real legal heir of your brother in law
regards
Awan Law Associates Multan
Dear Jibran, first of all thanks for so nice reply. According to Shariah its not right. But the deceased was sick for long period of time.(about 9 year). all the look after carried out by other relatives. more over deceased adopted the child, when he was only age of one day. does it right, if we’ll claim for money as a medical treatment. what kind of documents need in this regard. if you have any sub branch in Haripur or friend also inform. thanks

@Fida
Your father and her sister are the only legal heirs of your grandfather.
My sister is married and now has summoned me to share in the inheritance with me and my other two brothers in our parents’ estate. Our parents are dead for more than six years ago and we have not received their property in our name yet. My question is whether she can afford only to summon me?
In addition, if her children can claim her share of inheritance after her death?
@tahir
yes she can and her children cal also claim their share because they are legal heirs
I should highly appreciate it if you would kindly advise me on the following issues.
1) My father has passed away but my mother is alive. my father has left a house in Karachi, which is in his name. I would like know if the house could be transfer to my mother in order to sell it.
2) I also would like to know if the children of my deceased brother and sister are entitled to a share in that house,left by my father.
Many thanks
@Anwer
you have to obtain the succession certificate in order to transfer the house to your mother name then you can sell it
secondly yes children of your deceased brother are entitled for the property of your their grandfather.

Iam living in thr uk, can you please advice where i optain this certifocate. WE ARE 4 siblings.
My brother recently passed away in Lahore.
My mother and myself are the heirs to him. We got a succession certificate and we submitted to the banks of my brother. They say that they will take ~10% off the amount as tax.
My question is my brother paid all the income taxes on time etc. so why the bank is taking the 10% as tax again?
Please give me the reasons for that.
Thanks.

I should highly appreciate it if you would kindly advise me on the following issues.
my sister and her husband had a joint account in a bank i.e a broker ( for purchasing of shares in lahore stock market) now my sister’s husband died in may 2009
now the broker or agent will demand Succession Certificate and then guardian ship certificate from my sister.
is succession certificate is necessary for joint account?
what should we do?
Dear Sir,
if deceased make a statement in favour of his wife for all the property as
a gift on simple palin paper along with signature of witnesses. and orally to by saying the quran and qasum that i gifted my all the property to my wife. does it make some sense?
@Nazeer
yes it is legal and according to concept of Gift in Islam
Dear sir,
A lady had filled petition for succession certificate in respect of B. F,G. P.f and pension while deceased also left three wives and children whose persons could not served to appear after substitute service in news paper so how to court decide deceased pension and funds.
@Mansoor
Those other wives and children can become party in the suit filed by the lady in the court.
if no one appears in front of court then court can decide the matter in favor of that single lady
Sir,
I thank you for your great effort. My question is about division of inheritance among wife, and adult children. I know the Sharia (sons get twice that of daughters etc etc). But in the absence of a will from the deceased what is the standard division?
What I mean is: if standard division in Pakistani law is equal parts among sons and daughters, then I would want to go with that instead of Sharia division …
if there is not standard division (it all depends on the agreement among the legal heirs) then that is a different story
@random dude
if your father is muslim then his all he left is divided according to sharia
if he was sunni then according to sunni law
if he was shia than according to shai law
standard division only possible if he would left a will
without will all should be divided according to sharia
My father recently passed away and left land that is rented out. We are multiple brothers and sisters.
Question 1: Is there any need to carry out inheritance procedures as soon as possible? Any risk if the process is delayed 6 months to 1 year?
Question 2: If we have to renew rental agreements before those 6 months and we have not initiated the heirship paperwork, is it impossible to renew rental agreements?
@random dude
you have to start inheritance procedure soon
without inheritance you cannot renew that agreement legally

Sir, I’m grateful for your kind replies … I have one more question:
before my father married my mother, he divorced another woman who had a son with my father … but that woman married someone else and used the name of her 2nd husband as the father of that son … Therefore the legal father of that son is the 2nd husband but biological father is my father … the divorced wife and her son are alive …
are we bound by Pakistan law to accept the divorced wife or her son as heirs?
are we bound by Sharia to accept the divorced wife or her son as heirs?
I have a Question:
Actually this is related to hiership in my family. My Mamon (Uncle) has died a few months ago. His wife was died 8 years ago, from his wife he has three daughters.

Sir,
I have a query regarding Surety Bond for the issuance of Succession Certificate..
The court has released its orders after I filed suit for the issuance of succession certificate for the possession of bank accounts of my father after his death.
At the last page or the last point the hon judge states as” Application is accepted subject to furnishing surety bonds amounting to Rs 1200,000/- with one local surety to the satisfaction of this court. Succession certificate be issued accordingly. File be consigned to the record room after its due competion”.
Now I want to know that what is surety bond and how to provide a surety bond. Which things/property can be considered as a surety bond and who can provide means whether the person included in the application is eligible to provide his asset as surety bond??
@Tariq
@Tariq
surety can be in form of bank guarantee of property documents. In your case it is in form of any property value of which is 1200,000. You need to submit registry of such property to court. Any other person can do it for you

Your Father will have more share than your father’s sister

Dear Jibran
My wife has passed away 11 years ago. There is a plot in Pakistan, which . She left her final Will in favour of our daughters only. We got 3 daughters. They were minors at the time of her death but now all of them are over 18.
If her brother and sisters has share in the plot then the following information could be useful. 1. She left 1 brother and 2 sisters.
According to Sharia it is not allowed to make a Will over 1/3.
What does the laws in Pakistan say about her Will in favour of our 3 daughters. If myself (husband) and my late wife’s brother and sister give consent to fullfil her wish /Will to transfer that plot to our daughters.
——————————-
just for information only, if mother or father or brother and sister of a female live after her death when she left her own children and husband what are the shares in property.
——————————-
I look forward to hearing from yourselves.
Thanks
Dear Sir,
I need your guidance in this matter of concern.
My grandfather died of natural causes in 2005. He had a house in his name, bank accounts, saving certificates, defense certificates, pension etc. There are 5 heirs of his property 4 brothers and 1 sister.
Since his death all the documents etc. are in hold of my uncle (taya) and the assets have not been distributed among the heirs. Recently he has asked all heirs to grant him general power of attorney to handle any matters related to the house only without any mention of other assets.
Please advise as to the right course of action that should be taken in this regard. I am looking forward to your kind response.
Thanks.
@salam
The best way to solve it amicable is to file suit in civil court by all with consent and divide the share according to law
As far as power of attorney is concerned only give to your uncle if you trust him
My grand father passed away and he has some accounts in the bank, he has 3 daughters only, so now according to law the amount shud b divided equally b/w them or not, would there be share of others like my grand father’s sis as well?
@Saqib
No , your grandfather’s sister is not his legal heir so only daughter are legal heir for that amount.
My compliments for a very fine job you are doing.
My father died 10 years ago at Lahore(permanent Residence). I brought my mother with me to Rawalpindi she expired 5 years ago. My mother during her lifetime had made a joint account with me in the bank, so therefore, there was no problem. Now it has been revealed that she had some agricultural land (two acres) in Gujranwala. We are a family of three and my brother and sister reside permanently in Islamabad. Do we need inheritance certificate or succession certificate? Can this process be undertaken at Rawalpindi or we have to go to Gwa? Any idea on the lawyer fees etc that he would charge for the case? I realize that actual court fees etc would not be much.
@Shamim
you have to go to the Gujranwala, Go there meet with Revenue Officer there to transfer the land on your names

My friend mother was a govt employee. She died during her treatment of cancer. Although he has siblings but he bears all the expenses of her treatment. She applied for assistance from the department but due to some problems this was not exercised in her life. After her death with the intervention of some high officials of the deptt my friend filled the claim again and finally it got approved.
Now the Accounts Deptt is asking for succession certificate for payment of amount of Rs.350,000/-. Is there any other document that can serve the purpose or any other way to avoid this lengthy procedure of succession certificate.

Dear Sir. I would like to ask that my father had an bank account in Lahore Pakistan. In 1988 he had a stroke on his right side of body. That time he was unable to speak properly but what we can understand that he is trying to tell us that he had a bank account that he never told us before. He was trying to write on the paper that he could understand us where his account is but unable to write clearly. He passed away in 1995, is there any way we could find out about his bank account even though we don’t know about the name of the bank as well. Please give me your kind suggestion. Thank you will wait for your reply.
@Nadeem
Your case is totally different
try to find out the Bank or go to the head offices of major banks and try to find the record of your father’s name
there is no other way
Can Bank release funds below Rs.100,000/- of a deceased to widow against Bond of Indemnity including shares of minors?
Yes. Mr. Tahir banks can now release an amount not exceeding Rs.200,000/- to the widow against Bond of Indemnity duly signed by two account holders of the bank. There is non need of a succession certificate.
Dear sir,
my father died 2 years ago, he left one wife and 3 sons. one of the brother filed a civil law suit for property distribution other 3 are following. judge ordered to distribute the property but case is still keep going on.
both sides lawyers are not very helpful. my question is do we need to file another suit for succession certificate for distribution of property or the same court will do it? and how we will distribute the other assets like banks accounts and shares etc. do we have to wait for the court until it distribute the property how this will work?
my lawyer says we don’t need to file for succession certificate this court will distribute every thing but court papers does not mentioned anything about bank accounts, shares etc.
thanks in advance for providing this wonderful service
@Ahmed Ali
If you all legal heirs are agree on the distribution of assets than Succession Certificate is enough
court only intervene when there comes some dispute between legal heirs.
Sir,
My wife passed away recently.she had some national saving certificates without any nominee. what is my legal position while claiming the succession of those certificates being her husband.
@Ali Babar
You can obtain those certificates because you the legal heir
or you can obtain the decree of civil suit regarding them
Assalam-u-alaikum.
Sir,
My Mother(Late) have seven Sons and 4 Daughters (including me , however one have expired before my mothers death.First please tell me are his children who are not minor entitled for share . Second we have immovable properties on mothers name which will be transferred to all legal Heirs .I am not willing to sell the property do i have right to stay as i m the one living in that property (House).or what i can do for a stay .
Regards
@Waqas
The children of your deceased sibling have no right on the property of your mother.
All other have equal right on the house, no matter they live in it or not
if you want to live in that house you must pay the share of that house to all your siblings
otherwise they can file a suit for partition of that house
Assalam-u-alaikum.
About 2 years ago my father passed away in England we have land in Pakistan which needs to be sorted the problem is there are 7 children from 2 marriages do all of us have to go Pakistan to resolve this or lets say 3 people go can we give them our identity cards. Can we do this? I have been told we need to write a covering letter and get it stamped from the Pakistan embassy. Also how long does this whole process take from succession letter to have the land into all of our names.
@ Ali
Yes, you have to get covering letter and attested it from Pakistani embassy.
We cant tell you how much time it will take but if you work fast you will get it done in quick time
as far as the case is concerned it can be decided withing 6 months in Pakistani court
one query my father died and left a house in the name of my mother i have only one sister would you please tell me if property can be distributed as per inheritance law if yes what is the procedure shares for that will there be a legal notice or a suit to be filled in such a case
@Salman
you need to file suit in civil court
my father had bought a house for my two brothers but not for me in his life and when he die
he left a smaller house in his inheritance and know this smaller house is being divided between
three of us but if we sell this house I will not be able to buy a house but my brothers got their another house to share and they can buy their houses, so is any thing can be done about it in pakistani law?
@Nadeem
The question is that who is the registered owner of that other house?
if that house is registered on your brother’s name than you cant do anything about it
but if it is still registered on the name of your father you can file suit in court for your share as legal heir
Sir,
I want to know about a house that is at the nameof my deceased father. I live in Hyderabad and want to know the complete procedure, documents required etc for the transfer of title from his name to ours (the kids).
Awaiting your reply.

My father has passed away so what is the legal way to transfer the bank account balance of 800k to my mom account?
is hereship certificate relevant?or sucession certificate is req?
kindly tel me in detail….Regards
@Neha Ali

Dear Sir,
My father died in Pakistan and I have mother and five sisters and one brother living in Pakistan. I am at the moment living abroad (Spain). My father left few property (plots) and bank balance. Could you please let me know how my mom and bro and sisters can get their share while I am living here in Spain. My bro asked me to write a power of attorney, which i do not want. Is this possible that they get their share in Pakistan without my power of attorney. I asked them to apply for the succession certificate but they replied that they need my power of attorney ????
Many thanks for yours help
@Khan
you need to give your power of attorney because it is necessary and without it they cannot obtain the Certificate
Dear Sir,
Dont you think disclosure of exact amount to courts in bank of a deceased person can brew many safety problems for the legal heirs in the long run
@Ahmad
not at all because you have to disclose it if you want to get it

from 20000 to 100000
you lawyer will guide you about the procedure and required documents
We are Multan based so we only deal cases in Multan or some times in Lahore

Hi,
First of all thanks for putting up such a good site. I have a query about heirship certificate. Like a comment above, my mother also died in the Bhoja air crash. I am facing problems in getting a heirship certificate. My mother only had a bank account in her name. The tehsildar said that there needs to be a property in her name for the issuance of a heirship certificate. Is there no other option?
The airline is accepting heirship certificates but I’m afraid we’ve to go for a succession certificate now. How much time and expenses will it take?
@Lareb
God give you patient to bear that loss
expenses depends upon the fee of your lawyer which is different in all cities
and it can take up to 4 months to obtain it
Assalamu alaikum,
My father died a couple of months ago, now I want to make a succession certificate. Can I do it all myself in the civil court according to the procedure mentioned above or is it mandatory to hire a lawyer?
@Motasim
you must need a lawyer in civil suit and without it you can not obtain Certificate
Assalam-O-Alikum,
Dear can you please tell me that after the issuance of succession certificate if someone need to add some other ammount in the section certificate (ammount of the deceased person, which come into know after issuance of succession certificate) , can civil judge add that ammount in previous succession? or need to re-apply for new succession certificate for other ammount?
Thanks
@Mr Saeed
you need to forward an application in this regard to the court which issued the certificate

Assalam-o-aliakum:
Firstly, thank you for this website, it is very informative.
My father passed away recently, he was living overseas. He had several properties in Karachi, both flats and plots of land. Currently, we have been relying on his business partner to guide us on how to transfer these properties to my mother’s name so she can start selling off the land, as me and my brother’s live overseas. So far he has guided us, but I do not want to rely solely on him and would like to understand the process myself. Since he has his own business to run, he is understandibly not always the quickest at addressing our questions. The properties involved are extensive and valuable. We are not even completely certain that we know of all the properties. So my question is 2 fold-
1. How can we find out all the properties held in my fathers names in Karachi?
2. What is the best/easiet/quickest way to go about transfering ownership to my mother, as she is the only one in Karachi and can help manage/dispose of them?
I understand that you deal mainly in Multan and Lahore, but I hope the answers to my questions above will be the same across Pakistan. If not, kindly refer me to any alternate website where I may pose this question.
With best regards,
Dear Sir,
My friend’s Parent were separated 20 years ago.They had no divorced but father of my friend was not earning and mother of my friend was keep telling him about it and therefore she left his home and went to her parents home. My friend and her sister were grown up by his Mamoo . My friend mother was died 2 years ago but her father is alive and not living with them since then .Is that possible that she can obtain his inheritance property from her father during his life time. ?
@Farzana
it is not possible to get that property during life of father without his consent
but if father dies than both are naturally the legal heirs of father because there is no divorce
AOA
We are three brothers our father and mother died we need to make a hariship certificate

Respected Sir,

Dear Sir,
I want to get the legal openion about our case. my sister have 03 daughters and due to family problem, we got the Khulla from the court. her husband got married withanother lady and he got a Son from his second wife. during the proceeding of case He died last week. at court instruction we checked the property owenership and found that before death but during the case with us, he transfered his property as HIBA to his son who is minor.
i want to know that can my sister’s daughters get some share from that propeerty or not?
please advise.
regards,
Abdul rehman
@Abdul Rehman
Your sister’s husband was owner of that property and he rightly transferred his property as HIBA to his son.
but if your want to challenge it you can challenge it in court by taking ground that HIBA is based on fraud and daughters are also entitled for property
Dear Sir,
My mother died in 1995 and I was her only child and thus only heir. My mother had a car whose registration is in her name and I renew the registration every year. The car is in my possession since her death. I now need to transfer the car registration to my name from her name.
As I am the only heir, do I require a Succession Certificate to have the car transferred to my name or can it be done through some other method as well which does not require a Succession Certificate e.g. Personal Undertaking on Stamp Paper, etc.
@Azhar
you need to go to concern authorities for information
they can guide you better
hi. i just married to a british citizen originally born in pakistan but now british citizen.i applied for visa but could not get one.now problem is , it’s ,more then one year and she is getting married with someone else in Uk. she came in pakistan and married to me and was registered with local union council and nadra as well.she also got some property and money in bank accounts in pakistan which i gave to her.now question is , she is still my wife and how she can get married to new person without my permission and secondly, how can i get my property and money back.please advise, in dire situation???
reagrds, junaid.
@Junaid
your wife cannot marry with any other person because she is your wife and it is against Pakistani law and Shariat
but she is not in your reach and in UK
so you can file suit in civil court to get back your money and property which you have transferred to her
if some one have given special attorney to his son in law that after the death my son in law can even operate the bank account.
whether it is possible?
and same person have only son who is legal heir
can he claimed for the concerned account?
what would be the situation of both if they claim from the bank for the amount in deceased account?
and what would be the situation if real son have some written instruction that the above son in law could not continue the account after the death of my father?
please reply me with details
@Rehman
after death of your father that special attorney is meaningless and you are the only legal heir and only you can operate the bank account of your father after getting succession certificate from civil court.
Dear Sir,
Assalam Alaikum
My husband deceased in June ,2012. Now I need succession certificate for his own property ,pension and funds, he was on job when he passed away. Our layer told us that all his brothers and sisters should surrender in favour of his widow and children, I want to know that the property and funds are not related to his brothers or sisters so why they should ask for surrender? Please guide me as soon as possible.
Regards,

@Talat Tafseer
if you have son and daughter than you are the only legal heirs of all property
but if you have no son and only daughters than brothers of your husband are entitled for some share in that property
Dear Sir
My NANA died in 2004 and left 2 properties and a running business which at the time of NANA’s death was being operated by my 2 MAMOO’s (Mom’s Brothers)
The 2 properties which are left are total value of 4 Million where as Business was worth about 50 Million.
My NANA did not gave any will about any of his property or business,,,, now our mamoo’s are saying that the 2 properties should be distributed among brothers and sisters as per the rules but they do not consider the business in the distribution…. please guide me …. my mother is the only sister and they are 3 brothers. NANI also died in 2002 ….
Waiting for your reply
@Haroon Rashid
the only option available to you is file suit for business share
actually it is difficult to prove the exact value of business and current status of of business because your Mamos are running it
so there are few chances that your mother will get something from business but you can file suit and provide documents related to your business if you have any
My Father in 1964 bought agricultural land in sindh as a part of a rehab process close to Badin.
As My Father was proceeding abroad he bought the land in the name of my grandfather, so that the could manage it in his absence. On his return my grandfather was sick so he did not think it was wise to raise the subject of transfer back. However he got a mukhtar e Khas for managing the land.Unfortunately my grandfather died before he could transfer back the property. Since then we have been occassionally visiting the land for safe keeping. My father is himself 76 years old and not in good health, he has 5 brothers and no sisters. 3 brothers have already died. I recently took him to the revenue office for transfer but the demanded that all brothers and their decendants to appear in the revenue office. We submitted the death certificate of our grandfather and als gave a newspaper ad. The surviving 3 brothers are unfortunately not on talking terms. The sons of our deceased uncle are now demanding shares of the property which is still in my granfathers name, kindly advise.
@Fakhar
in your case legal position is that your grand father is owner of land and all his legal heirs are also entitled for share
anwyz file suit in civil court and try to get justice from there but you are on weak footings.
Dear Admin,
My mother has passed away last year.She did not have a WILL as such but told us each about what she wanted us to have.We are three sisters and one brother.She told us nothing about shares to our dad.Our dad wants us to distribute the property and he wants his share.Everyone is ready to start the distribution process however i am not in Pakistan.I am in the UK and it might be a few months before i go back,but my family are pressing on me giving someone my power of attorney.I am not comfortable with the idea and although i love my family its not a particularly pleasent thought.If i dont assign any of my family members as power of attorney, is there a chance that they could go ahead without me.Obviously i will do my best to come as soon as possible.Even this may take six months and they are starting the process now as my dad is afraid he might die suddenly.My brother is actually by step brother.Any advice on how to go forward.
@Nazia
legally they cant do anything without you
but there are chances of fraud and cheating so advice is to come here as soon as possible
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have couple of legal questions. I would be really grateful if someone could please answer me.
1. My father had recently died (2 months ago) and he left us (we are 3 brothers and 1 sister) with his 5 marlas home in Rawalpindi city and couple of Kanals land in a village near Rawalpindi. What is the procedure to transfer both kinds of properties to our name?
2. Is it safe to hand over original floor plan of a home to a person temporarily to rent out a property to him on federal govt. employees hiring basis?
Thanks in advance.
@Wasim
to transfer property first you must get succession certificate as legal heir of your father then properties can be transferred.
secondly , yes i think there is no danger in it
Thank you for your reply.
Could you please recommend a good and affordable lawyer in Rawalpindi for handling all such matters? Thanks in advance.
@Wasim
Sorry but we cant guide you in finding good lawyer in Pindi.
hey admin …
i had a question of confusion that ‘ In such case where the deceased person was a resident of karachi and his immovable property is in hyderabad, and he died while he was in lahore then where the case should be filed to get succession of the immovable property’ ? i will be thankful for your answer!
@In Need
best place is where property situated
you can also file where person resides
Dear,
Is the presence of legal heirs compulsory when court orders for publication of the case?
Or Lawyer present the legal heirs with applicant after Publication?

My father died 2 years back leaving a piece of residential property and some bank balance. Now we wanted to draw the amount however my father bank account is frozen unless we present certificate of succession/heirship certificate to bank.
Can the certificate be obtained in absence of any of the heir as 2 of my brothers are not available in pakistan. Also, please tell me how much the total expense of the procedure is?
Thanks for responses in advance.
A few yrs back my father passed away & mother has been issued succession certificate by the court. The original succession certificate has been kept in record by one of the banks as the policy to process our claim on the locker & account in that bank. Now we are just left with the photocopies of succession certificate but we still have some unfinished/unsettled formalities to carry out for saving certificates transfer in national savings center. So can we get another original from Kachehri??? If yes then whz the procedure?????????? Or the photocopies will be sufficient?????????
@Kanza
you should apply for the certified copies of another certificate from court and you will get it easily

Dear Sir,
My father expired back in 2009 but unfortunately i wasn’t living with my father during his last days .I am the legal heir as declared by the court of law.
The problem is that i don’t know about my fathers property i mean where are they..as my greedy uncle took possession of all of his personal property documents etc.
Could you please suggest me any way i can trace properties or other possessions on my father’s name.
Looking forward for your prompt response.
Thanks & Regards,
@Rehan

Aoa,
My question is that i files a successions certificate through lawyer and the court gave me one since i am the legal heir to my deceased husband according to his will. I also has two sons both under 15 years. but my husbands father and mother were dead according to my husband. After his death and after i got the certificate they contacted me. But in the certificate i had said they has died. How can i get this mistake corrected? Can i get this certificate cancelled and file for a new one?
@Sajida
it is not ur fault you should go on with ur certificate
in any future case you can tell court that parents were dead according to ur knowledge at that time

yes you need it
Succession Certificate is required in order to transfer property of deceased person to his legal heirs such as bank accounts, insurance amount, stocks, bonds, Shares etc. Law of Succession 1925 or Succession Act 1925 governs the all procedure related with succession certificate.
What is the limit of Succession Certificate?
What is the limit of Letters of Administration ?

my father in law died some 2 months ago leaving a house and a plot as a property, leaving behind 1 daughter and a widow. who will be the legal heirs of property. is there any share of uncle and aunts and other relatives.
@Imran
her widow and daughter are the only legal heir in your case
no uncle and anut
Dear sir,my father died in1967 in Muzaffar garh leaving a home.we constructed a market there.Then through khangi taqsim market given to two of the sons named A and B.B sold his market share to A and one of the shops without selling its roof to some other person. B also died .Now A wants ownership to his name,what procedure he should adopt?
@Athar
When he sold market share to A , there must be some sale deed etc which is the proof of ownership of A
There is no sale deed,verbal sale based on confidence.All legal heirs signed on a simple paper admitting sale deed and they have no objection on ownershipn of A. How ownership can be transfererd to A?
dear
please explain one more thing, we have contacted a Lawer but he told that deceased did not has the son only daughter so uncle and aunt also have the share according to Sunni law in Pakistan.
Regards!

pls let me know, do i need succession certificate to withdraw bank balance of my deceased father. SBP has waived through its circular the condition to show the certificate. But bank refusing it as account also has locker associated wth account, though locker is empty n carries no items.
sir,
we are two sisters and a mother. my father passed away a long time ago.he left behind a house.basically,we are shia.but towards the end of my father’s life he showed inclination towards shia religion.actually,he had befriended some shia friends who had an impact on him.we never took that seriously,until his death and now,when we have heard that this thing can be used to our advantage.as you would know under shia law,a window and daughters can get legal heirship.the question is, we don’t know how to prove this claim? can we just go to any imambargah and ask them to write certificate accepting him as shia? is there any simple way out? the lawyer says civil suit which will take months and we are in a fix? morover,i have heard civil suits are very very exoensive too.except for the house, we have nothing with us.the money he invested in a buisness doomed.kindly, give a suitable solution.one that is pragmatic for our situation.we live in islamabad.
@daughter
Yes you can get certificate from Shia Alim in this regard
but you have to file suit for succession certificate ,
find some economical lawyer for the purpose
Dear Sir!
My brother and mother died one after the other within 1 year. I am now the only surviving heir to all their properties, moveable and immovable. My mother has a house in Lahore but she was in Karachi when she died.
Can I file a succession certificate in Karachi? I do not have any relatives or close friends in Lahore as I live in USA. So I need to give power of attorney to some one in Karachi to act on my behalf.
Will this work? One option is that I give the power of attorney to my wife and then she can stay in Karachi and get the certificate.
Please give me you advice what is best in this case. It is more that 2 years and I still have not filed for the certificate.
Thanks.
@Javed
You can give Power of Attorny to your wife and send her to Pakistan for the matter
Yes you can file it where property situated
Thanks for the quick reply.
Can I file for SC in Karachi even though the property is located in Lahore?
Thanks.
Dear Sir !
Recently my father died n left around Rs 60k in Soneri Bank Ltd. When I went there to claim it with my mother he asked me to get succession certificate. When I consulted legal advice I was been told that I only need SC if the amount is more than Rs. 100k and if the amount is less, then it should b dealt within the bank itself. But the bank is in complete denial of such an act.
Please help me with it if there is such a law which clarifies this!
Thanks again for your time 🙂
@Ali
Well some banks do not require SC if amount is less than 100K but other require it.
You should meet bank manager and trying to convince him otherwise you have to get SC to get that amount

salam. i am rida saleem from karachi. my father has died this year on 14 june due to cancer he was a govt officer and serving as a regional coordinator. after his death we applied for hiership in the DC office. (district commissioner office) we provided all the documents they asked to submit then they give an ad in newspaper and said to wait for 7 days after that we will get our hiership for further processes of getting pension and succession certificate. after some days a women claim that she and her children are also the legal hiers and she put forward an application to the dc to put her name with us in the certificate. for inquiries the nikkah nama that she provided in the office was fake. the commissioner also said that this is fake. provide the witnesses and evidence of your nikkah ( any photo album or cd of your nikkah) on the other hand they cancelled our hiership. the dc office sends her 3 notice for personal apperances with evidence but she did not came.we asked the commissioner to restore our hiership but they said we have to complete our duty you should wait we will take one sided decision which supports you. in the mean time she applies for succession certificate in the court she hired a lawyer and sends us a notification through a court person to appear in court on 27 september 2013 if we have any objection otherwise court will take decision supporting her.
please tell me what should we do we know that her documents are fake. the investigator tells us the whole story even this that she gives bribes to claim for succession certificate. we also visit a lawyer today she gives us no hope and she say ( agar maulvi ne ye keh dia k maine nikkah parhaya hai tw faisla us k haq main hooga, she also said paisa dey k sab kuch ho sakta hai) please help us

dear sir.
My aunty is a widow, My uncle left some of his savings in bank account and to clear this amount we require succession certificate. My aunty has no child, will this amount be also distributed among the brother & sisters of my uncle or my aunty is the sole owner of this amount.
@Shawaiz
Your Ant is sole owner of these acconts
Hi Brother,
You page is very informative, thanks for guiding people you are doing a great job May Allah bless you with happiness and success. I have a small quick question all the brothers and sister gave their documents (PA) in favour of elder brother and now elder brother wants to sell property in less price and wants to do distribution the way he likes upon asking he threatens everyone and says ” PA is in my name if I will give nothing to anyone, no one of you can challenge me” please advise as no one trusts him anymore and he has all the powers since all gave papers in his favour.
Nothing is sold yet still there is a time to reverse decisions please advise?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your wishes
You people can cancel that PA by filing suit in the court and get stay order from court so your brother cannot sell the property

Respected Sir,
We have applied for succession certificate which has been granted with the condition of providing surety. Since all the family members are major and they have submitted their affidavit in favour of the petitioner for issuance succession certificate in his name. As all the members are major and they wish that condition of surety maybe exempted. The learned justice is ready to remove the surety condition but at the same time directed their lawyer to quote if such authority to remove the surety condition is available in books of Law and Practice. Kindly inform about such authority/Law giving name of book and relevant reference number.
With kind regards

@Naba Kay
For that matter your lawyer has to search it
its not a big deal he will find many on the topic

Dear Sir,
My deceased uncle left some money in his bank account. His legal heirs are one old widow, one 17 years boy and a 14 years girl. The boy want to get succession certificate in his name to withdraw money from bank because his mother is old and ill too so he don’t want to unrest her. Is it possible for him to get money from bank via succession in his name. If not, please suggest the easy way.
@Ammar
Yes he can get the SC with consent of her mother and sister but it is better to get it with mother’s name
to get money from bank SC is necessary
today was my hearing for evidence in court for succession certificate..but they keep my all original documents and said court will give you back after attestation.. is it true? i am doubtful..please help me in this regard.

Can anyone tell me that who are the legal heirs of deceased in succession certificate, if deceased did not wrote any will?
@Farrukh
Muslim law do not recognize will
AOA , i am from karachi,
First of all i appreciated your efforts what you are doing here MA SHA ALLAH SWT.
i have read almost all the related questions and answers thoroughly and it clear me so many things.
Well
Respected , I just want to ask few things that are
– how much does court charge for S.C (any approx. amount plz )
– if an aged (52 yrs Old) widow apply for S.C so how long will it take to get S.C from civil court and can she directly apply for that or she needs to heir any lawyer ( as here almost all lawyers are greedy).
– Can she be directly apply and get the shares on her name or will she has to distribute them among children (3 sons+ 2 daughters) although no one is interested to take shares and all they (children) want to hand over all the share’s possession to her
– There are lawyers and a person who is saying that They could get the S.C on behalf of her with min. cost (around 70K / 80K) within least time. I don’t think so its min. cost for her bcz she does not do job, so i just want to ask for her only, kindly help because every lawyer is telling different stories (his own way stories) and she is fad up now so i want to help her at any how because she is need now. i want to help her bcz i am like her younger son
Your reply will be thankful and appreciated if you consider and reply this post.
Thanks for time
Regards
@Unknown
Court charge nothing
2 or 3 months time on average
she cannot directly apply
70k is much too expensive , it should be 10 to 20 k , hire some cheap lawyer
can you recommend her any good and reasonable lawyer ? if its so kindly email (jhoncena85@yahoo.com) me his details please, your kindness will be our pleasure.

Sir,
I need your advice from my case. I have a brother who is married as has two children. My parents have expired and we hold 3 flats and a business. As per our verbal agreement one flat is given to me and rest of the property is my brothers. Now the issue is that he is an alcoholic and usually beats his wife and children. Now i want the flat to be transferred on my name but he delays things and is not interested. I want my sister in law to have power of attorney so she could manage the business and property and help me in transfer of my flat as i have to get married soon. Please advice…
@Verbal agreement holds no importance in law
so both of you have equal share in all property
Aoa
we are two sisters our brother died before death of our father.At time of death of our brother, he left one son and widow. Now after death of our father and mother who also died earlier do they i.e. His son and wife inherit any share or are they legal heirs ??

@MA
Yes they are legal heirs

@Sadaf
you need to give power of attorney to your brother so he can deal with all matter
I live abroad, my father died and his bank has been provided with all formalities. The bank manager has given pay orders to the local people and wants my letter of authority attested by the embassy which is 3000 km from my place and the amount of pay order is almost covering the fare and stay if i go there.
What other method can be used to provide letter of authority to the bank. The pay order is crossed in my name, donot know what is the issue with the bank not to hand it over to the authorised person, i already given a letter of authority.
@Labeeb
You can do all this through your authorised person with power of attorney
my father was Govt servant who died ten years ago. My father married two wives. After the death of my father both of my mother got monthly pension of my decease father.
Now one of my mother also died a year ago.
now the question is that what portion both of my mothers got after the the death of my father.???
if it was equally divided between my two moms , now the remaining portion of my deceacs mother could be allocated to my living mother??. so that my living mother get the complete pension of my father….?????????
@Shoaib Mehsod
Now your living mother is entitled for complete pension of your father
Thanks for putting up this great website.I have a question. My uncle has passed away. He has a will that nothing from his property should be given to his wife and children. He only has one sister. Kindly tell me will the sister get all his property or there will be some other share holders also?
@Ali
in Muhammadan law there is no concept of will so his wife and children are legal heirs
I have situation and ask for opinion.
Situation is that a person dies at the age of 42 leaves behind wife 32 year of age and 3 children.
Although wife does not have any intention to get married but she is young enough and perhaps change her mind on later stage. The man had some inherited property after due agreement with his mother/brother and sister.
Please advise how the succession would work
@Kamran
at this stage simply the wife and 3 children are the legal heirs of that person
AoA,
My brother has passed away. he was not married. Our parents have passed away. I have one sister. who will be the legal heirs?
@Qasim
You and your sister
AOA,
If deceased died issue less leaving behind property which is not her own purchase but it was inherited property, do in this condition her husband will inherited the share while deceased brother and sister are alive ???
Thanks

@Ali
Once person own property through inheritance or purchase he is the owner so in your case husband is legal heir
Thanks.
My. Parents died and their property was transferred to me. And my sister. Now some relatives are threatening. That if we don’t give them. Equal share they will obtain stay on our property through lawsuit. Is it possible when property was transferred without any legal issues? They are forcing us to sell the property to a buyer of their choice who will give them their own pay orders. Like if it is worth Rs. 4. Rather than paying us both Rs 2 each he will pay Rs 1’to four . If we refuse to sell him they. are threatening with alawsuit and stay. Is this legally possible?
Please reply
AOA,
If woman dead issues then what is the share of her husband in her property while deceased has brother and sister present.

If your father surrendered then it should be in your favour… there must be some mistake
I wan to buy a home from a widow who has three child,2 daughters and a son(all child under 12 years of age) . what will be the legal procedure as per Pakistani law
@Siaf
you can buy it if she has transferred the property in her own name.
Q1) When buying a property, can wife write “I ……., daughter of ……..” instead of writing “I ……., wife of …….”?
Q2) Is it possible to replace husband name to father name in ID card?
@NK
Yes he she but if it is written in the ID Car.
Yes she can through NADRA
Hi Sir,
My brother age is 14 years. My father own a house.
Can my father issue him “general POE for house” to my younger brother? Means, my brother is minor (below 18). Is this possible by law? Will this POE be effective after my father death?
Thanks,
Abdullah
@Abdullah
Your father can transfer property through gift … He can give power of attorney but after his death it automatically revoke …
my father died few weeks ago, he was only earning member b/c we are only sisters.(mean dead person has no son). I want to ask that my chachas( brothers of dead man) can claim for their part if we want succession certificate?
plz reply as soon as possible.
@Jia
in case person died without son then brothers, father, mother of deceased also legal heirs although their share is small
Dear Sir,
Thank you for all your comments/replies as this is invaluable information.
Please advise is it possible for me to act on behalf of my sister in law following the sad passing of my brother. Essentially I am trying to obtain succession & heirship documents so that i can transfer all assets to my sister in law. The only heirs to the assets are my sister in law and her six children, two of whom are minors. Our main residence is in the UK and in pakistan we reside in the district of Rawalpindi. What documents will I require to file relevant petitions at the courts. Many thanks,
@Mohammad
You need to get power of attorney on your name from your sister in law and after that you can file petition on her behalf.
AoA! Dear sir,
Masha Allah you’re doing a wonderful job by guiding people. May Allah Rab Ul Azit rewards you for this. Sir I’m in interested in knowing about “Mukhtar e Aaam” terms. My father developed a house and transferred it to the name of his father(my grandfather) from the beginning. My father has 2 brothers and three sisters. When my grandfather died I requested my dad to complete the formalities. To cut long story short recently we managed to get succession certificate in favor of my father. Now we’re in possession of death certificate of my grandfather and session certificate. Our property is in Azad Kashmir and now he wants to transfer it in my name as I’m one and only child of my parents. He said that he consulted some lawyer and he said that in order to transfer that house in my name he has to nominate a Mukthar e Aaam then he will transfer that house in my name. I’m having my doubts about this procedure why not my father can do it? Why there is a need of Mukhtar e Aaam? And what are the complications of nominating Mukthar e Aaam? I don’t trust anyone to be nominated as Mukhtar e Aam if that can risk transfer of house to my name….Please guide me! Is it a secure process? My dad wants to nominate my (Phupha ji) Husband of my father’s sister to be Mukhtar e Aaam. I’m in dire need to have detailed reply from your side.
Dear Sir,
My father is 88years of age. My mother died many years ago. He has made my step mother who is 35 years of age nominee of his bank accounts in Lahore. According to sharia law will we not get any part of it? What are our rights on our fathers wealth? We are 5 siblings
Thank you
@Sameera
In his life a person can give anything to anybody so you father can give all his property to second wife… in case he died then you have share in inheritance
Thank you for your support and answers to people. It shows your dedication and commitment to your field. I have a query and I would greatly appreciate if you could answer it:
My mother passed away 3 years ago. Her mother (my grandmother) passed away recently. She left behind 4 sons and 3 daughters who are alive. There was a house on my grandmother’s name. My question is can I claim a share in my grandmother’s property, being her granddaughter, on my late mother’s behalf? According to shariah, I am not allowed. What about Pakistani court? What does court say regarding this?
Kindly help me! I will appreciate it so much.
As your mother passed away in the life of your grand mother hence you are not entitled for the property of your grand mother.
Aoa
We are three children two brothers and one sister, mother got divorced ,then father married another lady got two kids, father died and before death he changed nominee name in govt record ,new name was of my step mother, Are we (from first , divorced wife) eligible to receive share in govt benefits?? If yes it would be kind if you can give me reference of particular rule .thanks lots of prayers
@Jalal
If someone change the nominee in govt. record, it cannot be changed. But in all other assets of your father you all are equally shareholders.
Salaam,
My family is not based in Pakistan. I purchase properties and cars on their behalf in Pakistan. I have their properties, cars, and account balance on my name. I want to make a will so in case of something happens to me, they can get easy access to whatever is there’s.
How should I go on about making a will?
@Irfan
There is no concept of will in Muhammadan Law. In muhammadan law you can give anything to anyone through GIFT. If u die your all properties will be distributed among your legal heirs.
So Better solution for you is to give whatever you want to anybody in your life
my sister has two childs under 10 as she was not comfort with her husband and his husband has done another wed now my sister wants divorce but whats about the child as they will be with my sister or not? and even her hiusband does not inform her about the 2nd marriage.
@Nasir Alichild
Although your question is related with our topic of discussion but here is your answer… In your scenario chances are that children will remain with mother if parties reach in the family court but there are many other factor which determine the ultimate fate of the decision.
Immovable property Gift to real brother,is it lawful in Pakistan ?
@Waqas
Yes absolutely lawful
AA SIR. about legal heir ship certificat
our n.i.c is district nushero feroze sindh.
1 can we issues legal heirship certifiact from karachi high court.
OR
2 can we issues from estat office in karachi
@Abdul Sattar
U can file suit where property situated or defendants resides
AOA sir, I have a question if a person had 3 sons and he gives his property as “Hiba” to his one son. after his death will the other two can take the shares or not?
@alIYAN jABEEN
NO
yes because Hiba he can upto 1/3 of total property
U can file a suit for cancellation of hiba and declaration of invalidity of gift to one son. Though it would be difficult to prove that such hiba was invalid, not complete etc etc. Hence this case.
Hi mgha ya hna tha kh last year my father passed away ma unka bnk account sa ksa money nklwa skta hn nd second one kh jo ghr unka nme ha usa mother kh nme ksa krwa skta hn jb kh unka bhai hsa Dar na hn asa koi process btaen ….
Aslam o alaikum Sir I appreciate and thank you for the info and guidance you providing here , I have a query regarding 4 successors wanting succession certificate in favour of only one of them , how the petition will be filed with consent of other 3 successors as you mentioned earlier i mean if they need to execute special power of attorney if favour of one of them or just appearing to give statement in court during proceedings is enough and how the title will go as ‘A vs Public at large etc ‘ or A,B,C vs Public at large ‘ . thanks
@Aftab Ahmad
In that case one person need to file suit in court for succession certificate and all other will record their statements in court during that trial
I have one daughter. What should I do that no one claim from my property after my death. WILL has any legal bind in this regard.
@TEmur
there is no concept of will in Islamic Law… You can made hiba of all property to you daughter in your life
Yes you can transfer your property in favour of your daughter or as a Gift. If you draft a WILL, then a WILL made not in accordance of Shariah is not acceptable and not executable. In your case you only have one daughter and according to Shariah your brothers and Sisters may claim the property after your death.

So Can I get my share despite of the fact that my father made nominee to some one else?

He has made most of his nomination to my step mother(BSC&PBA) and small amount nomination to his brother(RIC &BSC)(UNCLE).Will account and savings certificates transferred to the nominees/ divided according to succession certificate.

the department is claiming that the family of a retired govt servant is ineligible to make such a claim after the death of the employee, since no rule is qutoed by the department in this regards therefore please provide reference to the rule to support this claim
Hi dear Jibran
My father died a couple of months ago. One of my brother is abroad and does not know the attorney procedure too.
For succession certificate, is it possible we do not show him as heir to accomplish the procedure fast and give him his due share after getting certificate. He also agrees this way. Need your guidance whether it would create any forgery issue or not?.
@Ishtiaq
if you both agree then you can do it but technically it is illegal and you can be in trouble in future if something went wrong
Salam,
My father passed away and left following:
A- 1 PKR and 1 FC account (All single signatory) in bank in Pakistan.

a) 1st Mother (Late) + brothers (All alive) + sisters (All alive)

Can anybody help me understand:
a) what is procedure for distribution of account balance and property ?
b) Will deceased mother and brother be considered in the distribution?
@Zubair
Your step brothers and sisters are also legal heirs of property
you can file suit in court for succession certificate and then distribute the property according to law
Dear Sir
My grandfather passed away 2 years before my father passed away. My query is that as my father had 4 brothers and 5 sisters they haven’t acquired any succession certificate and things haven’t be devided yet. I want to apply for succession certificate for my family that is me, my mother, and my sisters.
What is the legal prospective of this and will it put us in some sort of disadvantage since there wont be a seccession certificate from my grandfather and I will obtaining one that is from my father.
Thank you
In desprate need for guidance
@Jamal Rehman
You can file suit in court if other relatives are not giving you your right
if they are not agree to give you your due share you can file suit in court for specific property
well I don’t need any certificates or property or whatsoever. I just want to clarify one thing is that in my childhood I was adopted by my deceased Grandfather. My biological father was not a good man. so my deceased Grandfather became my legal guardian and put his name as my father in all my educational documents. over the years I have become a professional engineer and through competitive exam got a high-level government Job in the services.
Now i just want to ask one thing since all my documents bear name of my Grand Father as my father and not my biological father. My uncles who in documents are my brothers. further i am in good terms with my uncles (who in documents are my brothers). Will it be a source of worry for me in the future? and affect my promotion or create any other problem (like during census visiting my house in Khi)? a legal reply shall be appreciated
@Awhb
You have to follow the legal documents in this regard because all your rights and liabilities arise from the legal valid documents

Sorry the amount is actually 5 lacs
@Aysha
The fee of lawyer is not fixed in this regard
You can negotiate with lawyer
Thank you for your prompt reply sir. I would greatly appreciate if you could please explain this. “The court levies a fixed percentage of the value of the estate as fee for issuance of the certificate” what is the fixed percentage for the amount of 5 lacs?

Sir i also needed to ask that my grandfather, who happens to be my grand mothers brother, gave this property as a gift. Now im her only heir. And my father has passed away and mother remarried. He recently moved to pakistan and is now demanding the property to be given back to him however she wants to transfer it to me. Is there any way he can get possession of this property if she doesnt transfer it to him by herself? Or can he by any means go to the court for this and gain possession?
My grandmother wants to transfer her property to me during the lifetime. As her husband( my grandfather) and her only son (my father) have both passed away. After my dads demise my mother remarried but im residing with my grand mother since birth. She has two siblings alive though. How should we go on with the procedure?
@Farah Akmal
She can transfer any property to your name during her lifetime through gift
if she dies after that property will be divided according to law
so if person is alive he or she can transfer anything to anyone in shape of gift

@Asif
Your mother is legal owner of property and it is on her weather she give you something or not
you can not claim it as right because actually it was your fathers
after your mother it will be divided among all of you but in her life you cannot claim it and she can give to anyone of you
my brother died in 2007 he was unmarried, he left agriculture land about 2 acre, what is the procedure
to transfer the land. 2 brothers and two sister are alive.

I wrote you few days back but you didn’t reply me. I really need your help to get the advice. I live in abroad from 15 years and my brother also came here about 7 years ago through migration visa not get nationality.
My father has passed more than 20 years ago. No inheritance has divided because the step mother was alived and she didnt want to give any share to us. Now she has passed away few years ago. I was not in PK no one told me about her death. My brother keep meeting her during her illness, and she gave her will or he askef her to make a will and put everything on his name. As she were cancer patient on last stages.
My quedtion is as none of us rediding in Pk. How is the share divided among us?
I read that the share goes equal because none of us living there (and law of the living country will be followed)and court has decided the inheritance will go in our names.
Can you pkease help me to find out the should i get equal? Because i live in UK and tbe law here is equal share either sister or brother.
Please reply me via email.
Thank you
@Rabia
as for as the share is concerned , the law of Pakistan will apply and here sister is not entitled for the equal right. You have legal share in the property but according to law of Pakistan.
Secondly you need to file civil suit in order to get your share or you can also file criminal complaint against person as new provisions are inserted in Pakistan penal Code regarding this issue
Aoa..Sir I appreciate your help offered through this website..Please help me in property division procedure.

Does the nomination stands equal to a will because other then me and sister, there 3 more sisters and my mother. So, in total heirs are as follows;
1 mother
1 son
4sisters
Dear Admin,
First of all thank you so much for helping out all the people above.
I have one complicated problem and i wish to work on it and it may take years but i wont stop.
My Grandfather died along all his family and the only surviving person is his son who happens to be my father. My Grandfather left a huge property kothi in Interior Sindh and the legal heir is my father of course for which i can fight but we have some relatives living there now and they have made a takeover on it. My father is an army guy and he deserves that house and i am doing what i can to retain it. We have no documents of the home and these people have been living illegaly on it for years now. Kindly advise on the issue and thank you taking the time to read..
(i believe a succession certificate maybe required? will work on it as well we currently dont have it)
My Best Regards to you !
ASA:

my taya uncle died back in 2013, have 8 sons, 2 daughters and a widow.
my grandmother alive too.
how much share shall each legar heir qualifiy accordingly?
in case of grandmother death, shall we qualify for her share from taya uncle assets? just for the sake of knowledge and nothing else.
division of hiba property of deceased to parents?
My uncle (chachu) expired a month ago. He was unmarried. He had 1 elder brother and 3 sisters (1 unmarried, 2 married). His parents, elder brother and 3 sisters are already deceased. He has one son and 2 daughters surviving from elder brother, he has 1 daughter surviving from one sister and 4 daughters surviving from second sister. How will his inheritance be calculated. Will I (nephew) get all of it or will it be distributed among me and my sisters or between me, my sisters and cousins. Please advise.
Salam, My father has passed and he has 2 land plots in his name in Islamabad and in Peshawar. My mother is still alive Alhumdulillah and so are us kids. What is the best practice for us to prepare before we travel to Pakistan. Is there something we need to do here in the USA before we go? From as far as I can read, I believe that we need affidavits from all heirs leaving one heir responsible for the property.
What else must be done here first, and what will take place in Pakistan? Do we have to go to the local Pakistan embassy for anything? Please advice/guide.
@Farooq
You need to make one person as representative of all and give him power of attorney of all others
he can file suit in Pakistan and get succession certificate
It is better to visit Embassy for other legal details
My fathers property in the form of a plot is located at Gujranwala but we are the permanent residents of sialkot so where we have to file a suit for declaration certificate.either in Sialkot or in Gujranwala
Regards
@Maimoona
You have option to file suit in one of both cities
We have a property in our possession for last 40 years or so
The land owner died before transfering the property
How can we apply for possession or take possession
@Ali
You can file suit in civil court if transfer is not possible now
Both my parents passed away this year in New York. They owned some agricultural land, a plot and a house in Pakistan. They also have some PSO shares and bank accounts. I would like to get these assets transferred to my siblings and I. What would be the easiest way to get that done without getting bogged down in the Pakistani bureaucracy. Are there any documents that I can get here in the United States that can be used to prove heirship and effect transfer of the property?
Thank you for your input.
Regards
@Kamran Baig
One of your sibling need to file suit in civil court here
you can send your power of attorney to him here
through that suit you can get the succession certificate in 6 to 9 months
Assalam o Alaikum
my father was died in 12 feb 2016 and my grandfather was died in 27 jan 2017 and my grand father have a bank account in karachi and one house where we all live with uncle and phuppo while all other land is in our village in Rawalpindi and 2 houses in Rawalpindi city.

my grandfather have temporary address of karachi and permanent add from rwp.

Assalam-o-alaikum sir my eldest khala wants to get movable & immovable properties of my younger 2 deceased khala’s in her name.

Plz suggest how eldest khala can get all types of properties transferred to her name?

In Islamic Sharia, if Muhammadan died all his legal heirs are entitled to his property.
But as for as the Saving Certificates are concerned only nominee is entitled for them after person die
My sister who was single died .She left 6 siblings behind .One of the sibling is abroad .Do we need to have a power of attorney on behalf of that sibling as he cannot come in near future .Plus can the person who is nominated for succession certificate have the power of attorney of the abroad sibling also

Dear Sir
My father passed away few years ago and left some commercial property and a house my mum wishes to sell them but they were not transferred to her name can you advise what she must do.
@Khalid
Your mother needs to get succession certificate from the court. It is simple suit which can be filed in civil court and you will get certificate withing months and then you can transfer that property to her name and she can sell it.
Thank you dear sir
Supposing she has the succession certificate how could she handle the sale if she wanted to appoint someone in Pakistan. Is there any other forms required to fill in?
Would me and my siblings need to sign anything to confirm authority that our mum has right to sell? I appreciate your assistance and input.

Dear Sir,
My grandfather had a house which when he died was past onto my dad and his 3 brothers. My dad and his 3 brothers are now also dead. the house still remains and has not been used for a numbers of years. My dad and his 3 brothers all have children which now means that alot of people have a share in that house. I have approached my cousins to sell the house and everybody get their equal share. Most of my cousins agree but a few do not wish to sell it.
I have also offered them to buy my share out but they claim do not have the money to buy me out.
So my question is there any legal action i can take so the house can be sold and everybody gets their share?

My father suddenly passed away in Rawalpindi 3 months ago. Myself, my brother and my mother live abroad. My father left a property in Rawalpindi. Can you please advice how to proceed further to transfer the property and his bank account to the heirs? We do not have the property paper. Does each of heir need a succession certificate or legal heir certificate? what is the difference between the two certificates?
Do we all need to travel to Pakistan for the process of transferring the property?
@Hina
You need to file a case in the court to get the succession certificate. You can give special power of attorney to one of your siblings for that purpose or you can all visit Pakistan for that purpose. Heir certificate and succession certificate are same.

My father passed away on 27 dec 2018, left behind a widow, 3 unmarried daughter, 1 married daughter & 1 son (married). Property (House) is in the name of father, we have no intention to sell or rent the house; is it necessary to transfer the ownership of house or we can continue with as it is?
If its necessary then we have to nominate 1 legal heir or all the heirs in family for inheritance?
@Javeria
You can transfer the house to the name of your mother(as normal practice in our society)
other wise you can go on like this as all of you are owners of house
hello, my father died in January 19, leaving a private company after his name in which he was a director and a major shareholder of 50%, there are other members also with their respective shareholding in the company. It is a private company incorporated in SECP.
Now one of my father’s brothers wants to own this company and become a shareholder after my father, is it legally possible for him without the consent of children of the deceased ?
There is no will left by my father,
@Abi
There is no concept of will in Muhammadan Law so it is irrelevant if he left will or not.
Only legal heirs of your fathers are entitled for the company and shares and your uncle cannot own the company
you need to take legal action ASAP because law only help vigilant

@Afzal
Recently Succession Certificate Act 2019 passed by Govt. but for now it is applicable for only Islamabad. That law simplified the procedure and gave powers to NADRA to issue succession certificates and letter of administrations.
This is a very good and helping site. I am appreciating you for your work.
I want to know that “A person has died in 2017. His property consists of shops and warehouse. His legal heirs are 8. Elder son is getting all the rent from 2017. He is not ready to divide the rent to other legal heirs. How other legal heirs get their share?

My mother has gifted me Bebhood Certificate via Gift Deed executed between Donor and Donee along with 2 witiness and also notrized. Why does National Savings Centre requires Succession Certificate. I have also declared as a Gift in my Wealth Tax Return and also paying tax for last 4 years
Our father passed away last year and we are in the process of getting our mother settled into her new life. I live in Europe and my brother and wife are in Pakistan helping my mother. My mother is asking me for my cnic # to get his pension. My question is: Can they use just my cnic # to get access to my portion of our inheritance? Unfortunately, I do not trust my brothers wife because we have had arguments in the past and my mother is very upset by her husbands recent death that I feel my brothers wife is going to take advantage of her. This, I realize, is a multi-tiered question because it involves not just our land, money, etc, but also property in Pakistan. It is not a small amount and I do not feel comfortable giving the number online. I just basically want to know if they can use ONLY my cnic number to get power of attorney or get a succession certificate ON MY BEHALF without my permission?
AOA, our father recently passed away and has left some assets (not real estate) on the name of one of his son. Will such assets be considered legally as inheritance?
No
This is a very good and helping site. I am appreciating you for your work.
Our mother died recently, we are 3 brothers and 2 sisters. My Father died long ago.
There is a house in a posh locality. The house is very expensive. The elder brother contributed some money in the construction of the upper portion (not 100% of the upper portion). The remaining house was constructed by the mother.
Now the same brother says, that
1). The house will not be sold in open market. I will not sign the succession letter. No one will get any money. He further says, that I want to buy the house.
2). Since I paid for the construction of upper portion. He says, it is assumed I constructed one portion of this house. Although, he partially did construction.
3). I will stop the whole process of succession. It’s a threat.
What legal options do we have?
