A Heirship Certificate identifies the legal heirs of a deceased person and is commonly used for transferring property records, utility connections, pension benefits, and other administrative purposes.
A Succession Certificate is issued by a competent court and is generally required for claiming debts, securities, bank balances, shares, fixed deposits, and other financial assets of a deceased person who has not left a Will.
